This is the one book I completely remember reading in childhood - it was a wonderful story and I highly recommend it to any parent wanting a "clean" and very engaging book for their child - I think age 10 is a perfect age to read this book. I remember I cried, laughed and really felt like I was there.

The classic story of three lost pets on a journey home.
Great book about 2 dogs and a cat finding their way back home.
Entertaining children's book which inspired 2 feature films.
This wonderful book formed the basis for the film "Homeward Bound." I'm reading it again before putting on the shelf with my posted books, and you will certainly enjoy reading it before passing it on to a child.

A childhood favorite of mine: the realistic and somewhat scary adventures of two dogs and a cat trying to cross the wilderness to go home.
First publised in the early 1960s this carefully researched account of the actual, dangerous, almost unbeliveable journey of 2 dogs and a cat in search of their family. Considered one of the best animal stories ever written. A perennial favorite.
