Sled Dog: Powerful Miracle
The heartwarming tale of Isobel, a sled dog that became blind but pined to be allowed back in races and still helped win them, opens this lively work. That story is followed by information on the first dogs in the Arctic, the animals’ adaptation to that frigid environment, the dogs’ use in the gold rush and in a 1925 diphtheria outbreak in Alaska, and the Iditarod. The accessible, exciting information in presented in a large-font and is accompanied by numerous large color photos that display the dogs in fevered action during races, and at rest. Sidebars include one on the commands to use with the creatures, which children will enjoy learning. A closing “More Arctic Animals” page and a bibliography that includes the official site of the Iditarod and of a sled-dog kennel will please readers who want extra information.
