Summary: An Incredible Story......
Review: The book I read is a Weekly Reader Book, hardcover, with a copyright 1960, 1961 with the cover illustration copyright of 1986. The illustrations in the book are done by Carl Burger.

I loved this story since a child after watching the movie on The Wonderful World of Disney and I wanted to read and share the experience with my 6 year old daughter.

You will find yourself wanting to find out what will happen next as the three companions travel through hostile terrain to find their loving family hundreds of miles away.

The word choices are often hard to understand as an adult and my daughter would often ask "what does that mean"? Also she had a hard time keeping straight which dog was which but she did enjoy the book very much.

The last chapter is the best and I almost cried when two of the animals found their owners and then again when the old dog was reunited with his owner after everyone thought he did not survive The Incredible Journey.

I would like to know if this was any way based on a true story. You will enjoy this book very much but it is not a casual read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best book ever
Review: The Incredible Journey is the best book I have ever read. It is the best suspense book, too. I think Sheila Burnford is the best descriptive writer I've ever read.This book is about two dogs and a cat . They have to go two hundred and thirty miles to find their owner at a river canoeing . The owner left them home and had somebody look after them . The person showed up late and the animals went to find their owner. The animals have to deal with wild animals like bears and porcupines. They also nearly starve while trying to be with their owner at the river. All in all, I think you should read this well-written book. You will find out how much animals love people and it teaches us to work together. There is so much more in this book. So, if you like suspense this is a great book to read!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wow
Review: Wow this was a wonderful and exciting book that keeps you hooked and wanting to read more all through the Book! I never thought that book would be so, so good, especialy because none of the animals talk at all in the book. Although some times it does tell about their feelings, it is still an amazing book. I recomend it to everyone who loves animals and a good book. It is truely an amazing book.

Summary: The Incredible Journey
Review: Our names are Amiee and Nicole and we are from North Broward Preparatory School. We read the book,The Incredible Journey for an English Project. It was a good book. The beginning of the book was little boring. Other than that, it was pretty exciting. It was a very adventurous story. The Disney movies, The Incredible Journey and Homeward Bound were based on the book, but had some differences. At the beginning of the book, the animals run away from their current owner, in search of their original owners and home. Along the way, they run into many obstacles. If you are a pet lover and like adventures, this is a good book to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredibly Good.
Review: The Incredible Journey is mandatory reading for all kids and pet lovers. The book is on equal par with other classic animal tales such as Sounder and Old Yeller. It has a good combination of exciting action and emotionally-charged drama. Many young readers will be moved to both tears and cheers.

Through a series of mishaps, a trio of pets--a Labrador retriever, bull terrier, and Siamese cat--are left stranded in a cabin over two hundred miles from home. These three anthropomorphic characters assume the responsibility of saving themselves by journeying home by instinct and foot. What follows is a fantastic series of challenges and accomplishments. Their trek leads them through the north woods where they face wild predators, the elements, starvation, and incomprehensible distance. Along the way they learn lessons of love, loyalty, and perseverance. Wonderfully entertaining. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.

Summary: A Cat and Two Dogs
Review: I came to the book by way of the Disney movie. The book is better than the movie. Dog and cat lovers will enjoy the book most. There isn't much in the way of action.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The book was ok but wasn't very intresting
Review: I think the book was average.It is not a book you can really get into.Personally i would not read it again. I wouldn't recomend this book if you like fun exciting books.My favorite part of the book was when all the animals returned home to there owners.The rest of the book was about there journey. Another exciting part was when the cat got stuck in the river. These are basically the best parts of the book. The rest was about an adventure.I personally wouldn't recomend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Super cuddly
Review: This tells the story of the daring escape and heartbreaking trials of three ultimate cyborg assassins: a dog named Bandit, a cat named Tinker, and a rabbit named Pirate, armed with missiles, poison gas, state-of-the-art computer technology, rapid fire chain guns and unbreakable exo-skeletons. Wait, that might actually be We3. The stories are somewhat similar.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Boring Book!
Review: This book stinks so bad. I had to read it for school and I would never read it if I had a choice. It was very boring because it had very little action. If I had it my way, I would have stopped reading this book after the first page. It starts out with a guy on his rocker with three animals by a fire. The animals are supposedly not his and they go out searching for their original owners. I would not recommend this book to any human beings alive. This book is very boring.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This book was good
Review: The courageous journey of three animals running away from home in search of their family. A young Labrador retriever, the roguish bull terrier and a indomitable Siamese cat set out no a journey though the Canadian wilderness in search of the family that loves them dearly. The three house pets must survive without being eaten buy bigger animals, starve to death, and exposure.
