Adventures in Thailand
Juvenile Fiction / Multicultural / Animals
Date Published: 06-23-2026
Publisher: Mission Point Press
Illustrated by: Megan Heller
Sidney and JoJo are off to Thailand, where Mama lives.
Join them on an adventure to faraway lands-by crate, van, car, conveyor belt,
and airplane-as they discover the sights and sounds of a tropical new world.
Along the way, they meet friendly Thai people, encounter a wise dog, and gaze
in wonder at the golden Buddhas and temple cats standing guard. With a few
bumps in the road-marked by meows, tail twitches, and new surprises-they
journey onward until, at last, they arrive at their new home.
Review: A cute, illustrated tale of two
cats on a bumpy ride to Thailand. From a car ride to the airplane, we see it
all. The art was similar to a watercolor. The best image was the one of the
giant cat drenched in purple tones.
This is more a story of the actual
journey rather than the visit in Thailand, which was nice. It shows us how
animals travel in crates. A nice read overall.
