The Incredible Journey

Instinct told them that the way home lay to the west. And so the doughty young Labrador retriever, the roguish bull terrier and the indomitable Siamese set out through the Canadian wilderness. Separately, they would soon have died. But, together, the three house pets faced starvation, exposure, and wild forest animals to make their way home to the family they love. The Incredible Journey is one of the great children's stories of all time. The narration is excellent, capturing the suspense and drama of the animals tale. KLIATT Follows reads clearly and expertly Her vocal momentum lets her audience quicken to the perils of the three pets. AudioFile
