Have any of you read Big Red or other books by this author? I used to when I was a juvenile, in fact Forest Patrol is probably the book that got me interested in being a park ranger. After taking up geocaching thoughts of these books came back to me. I discovered they are still available even today. I’m enjoying reading them again as an adult. Many of the stories involve some sort of adventure between man and dog (or other animal)in the forest or outdoors.

As a middle school librarian, I have discovered these books too! I also find that kids (and adults) who like Kjelgaard also like books by Will Hobbs and Gary Paulsen. Both authors write survival stories that take place in the wilderness. The Hatchet series by Paulsen is especially popular!
