the first thing he caught was his cat then a coon
The first thing that Billy caught in his trap in the novel "Where the Red Fern Grows" was a raccoon.
He was over joyed
When Billy found his first raccoon in the traps he made, it was around breakfast. Billy had just finished a somewhat late breakfast when he called his pups to go out with him. It may have taken them a while after that to get to his third trap though. 7th paragraph. Unsure of first one in contest...haven't gotten that far yet...
Billy's mom's name is never told. She was always recognized as Mama.
Billy drank a bottle of goat milk for the first time at the general store in Where the Red Fern Grows.
the first problem was that Billy wanted 2 hound dogs but could not afford them.
In the story "Where the Red Fern Grows," Mama made a beautiful coonskin coat out of Billy's first coon hide as a special gift for him. Billy was thrilled and proud to wear the coat made from his own hunting efforts.
Mama made a hat for Billy but then he gets upset with coons and goes hunting every night.

The point of view in "Where the Red Fern Grows" is first person, as the protagonist, Billy Colman, narrates the story from his own perspective, using "I" and "me" to tell the events that unfold. This allows readers to connect closely with Billy and experience the story through his eyes.
Billy saw a real train for the first time when he was in Tahlequah in the book Where the Red Fern Grows. This experience left a lasting impression on him and fueled his dreams of owning his very own pair of coonhounds.
If my memory serves me right it was the "ghost coon" in the rotten tree that he tracked the animal to.
