Incredible Animal Adventures

By Jean Craighead George

Book Overview

Balto the sled dog raced over the Arctic to bring life-saving medicine to an Alaskan town stricken with diphtheria. Sugar, an ordinary house cat with an extraordinary sense of direction, traveled 1,500 miles on a cross-country odyssey in search of her human family. And Koko stunned the scientific world by learning sign language--and told us what it's like to be a gorilla. These are just a few of the inspiring, true-life stories of ten remarkable animals and the feats that made them famous, as only acclaimed naturalist and Newbery Award-winning author Jean Craighead George could tell them. Now available in a chapter book edition featuring beautiful line art by Donna Diamond, here is an irresistible collection for newly independent readers.

For kids who love animals!

My daughter finally caught the reading bug at 11 1/2 thanks to this author and the Julie Wolf Pack series. My daughter can't put these books down! I am so grateful she finally found something she's interested in. Great stuff!
