Why read it?
2 authors picked The Incredible Journey as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Incredible Journey is the first book I remember staying up past bedtime—with my Strawberry Shortcake flashlight—to read.
It is a timeless story of adventure that highlights the bond between three animals as they struggle to find their way home. A Siamese cat, an old dog, and an energetic retriever have to work together to overcome obstacles and survive dire and dangerous situations.
The Incredible Journey is a wonderful book to help children develop an appreciation for animals, sweep them into an adventure, and help them understand themselves a little better along the way.
From Jennifer's list on a pawsitive impact years after reading them.
More than 50 years after original publication, this children's book still makes certain dog-loving adults (like me) weep with joy. Separated from their owners, a pack of three animals – two dogs and a cat – demonstrate the loyalty and courage that convinces even those who don't own dogs why they're our very best friends.
