The Day Dirk Yeller Came To Town (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

Adorable story that is about a man named Dirk Yeller who comes into town with this terrible cat-scratch fever. He starts terrorizing the town until a brave boy named Sam confronts him and tries to calm down his cat-scratch fever. Nothing seems to be working until he walks into a book store and picks up a book and tries to read. Sam and the librarian teach him how to read and the cat-scratch fever seems to just go away. There's a cute little twist at the end of the story that will make every smile. The illustrations in this book are great and the storyline is unique. I would use this book in my classroom and maybe use it to teach about he importance of reading. Dirk Yeller comes to town and he is twitching and howling and scratching and jumping. He goes around the town trying to find something to help him but no one has anything. Until Sam takes him to the library and finds that books stop all the twitching and jumping. Now Dirk has settled down with books but he'll be back!I love books about reading. Reading can definitely help settle you down and Dirk is a perfect example of it. Fun illustrations...I love that Dirk looks like a giant pumpkin!
