He writes a book and tries selling it to raise money. Everything doesn’t go smoothly and things go wrong. I think the wide range of difficulties he goes through are humorous and frustrating at the same time. It’s a hilarious that Sneeze gets himself into all sort of trouble Old Yeller Old Yeller is a realistic, exceptional book about Travis a teenager, and Old Yeller. While Travis’s father is gone, Travis takes care of his mother and brother on their farm. A stray dog, Old Yeller, appears and is taken in. The dangers they face create suspense. I sometimes laughed and sometimes felt depressed but I Loved Old Yeller. Ben and Me __Ben and Me__ is a hilarious book and entertaining all the way around. It’s about a mouse, Amos, who is Ben Franklin’s patron and friend. This book’s a biography on Ben that is written in a funny way. Amos claims that Ben wouldn’t have his success and fame if it weren’t for Amos. Amos says that all the credit is due to him, mostly. All through the book, I felt like laughing out loud and sometimes did.
