For Christmas my kids got me a beautiful leather-bound edition of Old Yeller by Fred Gipson. Today my son walked into the living room and asked if I was reading Old Yeller, which I was not, but it reminded me that I need to pull that book off the shelf and start reading it aloud to them.Almost everyone knows the story of Old Yeller from the 1957 Walt Disney movie. The novel was released in 1956. The story ends on a happy note when Travis, the older boy, befriends Yeller's puppy after he steals some cornbread. What I did not know is that there was a sequel to Old Yeller called Savage Sam, starring none other than Yeller's son.
