Description

There is nothing Billy Colman wants more than a pair of hunting dogs, but times are tough for farming families in the Ozarks. "Maybe some day when we can afford it, you can have them," Billy's father tells him, "but not right now." Billy doesn't give up. Determined to get a pair of hunting dogs, Billy finds ways to raise the money. With great patience, Billy saves all the money he can, and after two years he is finally able to buy his hunting dogs. Billy works with his dogs, Old Dan and Little Ann, as often as he can, training them to track and tree coons, and teaching them how to avoid "Old Ringtail's" tricks. Though his dogs bring him pleasure, there are trials ahead for Billy as well. Billy learns the value of hard work, patience, and persistence, and eventually sees how God can use all things - even a pair of hunting dogs - to answer the prayers of his family.

    We have enjoyed this study

    We have enjoyed this study very much. It was our first of what we plan to be many more purchases. There are common comprehension questions but also character study questions and some Bible verses on topic. All of these combine to give an in depth discussion of the book.

    Easy to download

    I recently bought "Where the Red Fern Grown-E-Guide". It was so easy to download and it was ready to use in minutes after purchase. I have been using Progeny Press literature guides for many years. The literature guides cover many areas and are very thorough. By the end of the study, the child has a very good understanding of the book. I highly recommend Progeny Press.
