~~ A truly INCREDIBLE JOURNEY! ~~
Enjoyed by the entire family as a read aloud if you enjoy books that use wonderful and detailed descriptions with no dumbing down for children then this book is for you! The season is the Fall, the area is Ontario, Canada. Meet John Longridge, a writer, who has been animal sitting for the last 8 months for a professor friend of his who had to go overseas on an assignment. The three animals in his care are:>Tao, a Siamese cat>Bodger, an old, white English Bull Terrier>Luath, a young Labrador RetrieverJohn is heading to his brother’s cabin a couple hundred miles away. Leaving a note as well as talking with his housekeeper Mrs. Oakes, all is arranged for her to look after the animals until he returns. Unfortunately Tao knocks the paperweight in the night dislodging the second sheet of paper which ends up in the fire. The next morning, Luath takes the initiative to head home to his master. Will the others follow? Mrs. Oakes believes that the animals have gone with John so no one is worried about them.Heading west, Tao is able to catch his own food. Bodger is too old and weakness soon occurs. What will happen? Luath has been bred to only retrieve and not harm. Will the hunger finally take over? This is truly a story of an INCREDIBLE JOURNEY! Unlike some books where the author has the animals talking there is none of that in this book. We see the relationship/bond the three have between them but that is it. This book is 11 chapters and the animals truly face some very difficult dangers along with the odd unexpected kindness here and there.FANTASTIC! Highly recommend. Our 13, 10 and 7 year old loved it as did I. I purchased this book for my Kindle. I was not required to write a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz

Get for reading to kids
This was a great story! I read it before bedtime with my eight year old daughter. Itâs very descriptive and I love the personalities of the animals, especially the cat. The reason why I gave it four stars instead of five is because I didnât really get into it until the middle of the book. It had a bit of a slow start, but then again, the author painted the picture and explained a lot. There were also a decent amount of words I was unfamiliar with. When I started reading it, the wording seemed a bit before its time, and some sentences I truly didnât follow. But, those things are on me! I would recommend this book to other parents looking for a new novel to read to elementary-aged children. After reading the book, we watched the movie Homeward Bound, and both me & my daughter agreed the book was better. We liked the original characters better than those in the movie, so the book definitely made us fall in love with the animals. Overall really great story. The ending was awesome.

This book describes realistic prey/predator animal interactions
I loved reading this book with my 9 old. He learned a lot about the reality that animals can experience. He expressed a lot of love for the trio.

Always a Classic.
A touching story of three animal friends, surviving together in the wilderness while trying to find their way back to their loving family. A sassy Siamese cat has great hunting skills and defensive instincts over her two canine companions; an old bull terrier and young labrador. They each bring a much needed skill to traveling alone and fending for themselves. Without reveling to much of the story line, they have adventures and scary moments so well written you want to jump in and help them! When they meet the Ojibway, it’s the first of many helpful events. This is an excellent read for young and young at heart.

It’s as Good Now as it Was in 1968!
Here I am, waiting on laundry to be complete, crying at the ending of a wonderful book, just like I did so many years ago as a child. To those who recall, in the 1960’s, at least annually the teacher would pass out a small pamphlet with a list of books for their students to read outside of school. This book was an early favorite of mine, given I grew up with any pets and a Siamese in particular.Because you wife and I have a new kitten – a Siamese kitten- we were struggling for a name and came across Tao on an online list. Immediately I downloaded this book to my kindle app and promptly read it again. Frankly, I was surprised how well I remembered the book’s details, and how happy and magical it made/makes me feel!I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves cats and dogs, as a primer for the James Herriot books.

Het verhaal en deze editie zijn top!Maar als je dit boek graag wil, koop hem dan niet bij Paper Cavalier NL.Het tweedehands boek dat ik bij ze heb gekocht stond als “heel goed” beschreven.Maar daar ben ik het niet mee eens.Het boek is aardig beschadigd.Ik zal hier nooit meer een boek kopen. Het mag dan een wat zeldzamer boek zijn. Maar deze is in mijn ogen geen 37 euro waard.

A very readable, engrossing and interesting story made like a true life incident by the wonderful way of story telling. Drawn towards the book through the motion picture based on the same book.

Lo compré por error. La edición que realmente querÃa era la edición juvenil. Mi profesora me lo indicó mal. Lo he empezado a leer pero lo abandoné enseguida.
