Journey Home: The Animals of Farthingwood
reviewed by the Coalition for Quality Children's Media
Heroic fox, dutiful
Badger, shy Mole, playful Weasel and their friends are on the move!
They're the Animals of Farthingwood and looking for a land free of
bulldozers andhumans - a safe place to call home.From best-selling
children's books. Adult Juror Comments: Charming story but a little too
long. A little sad in parts, but great voices and enchanting
characters. Death of the animals a little to sad for under six. Good
humor, great values of how hard it is for animals of different types to
work together. Kid Juror Comments: "You can get the feeling it is a
very long journey." "The animals are cute, I didn't like that they
died." Kids liked the value of the animals of "mutal protection" helping
the younger small animals. Younger kids found it too long.
