Book Review- Chapter book

Chapter book for third to fifth graders, depending on their reading level. "The Incredible Journey," by Sheila Burnford. A lovely book. Kids who love dogs and cats will like this book. It takes place in Canada. A man with three pets, an old bulldog, a Labrador and a cat goes on a vacation. He leaves his animals in the care of the couple who look after his home. His animals follow his trail over one hundred miles to find him. Through hunger, pain and adventures they continue their quest undaunted. The animals truly do have one amazing trek in the wilderness to be united with their owner.
