This beautifully illustrated (they look like paintings) children's book about two sled dogs in Alaska gently teaches a lesson about devoted friendships, plus the story provides information about the Junior Iditarod. The huskies are best friends, and remain so even after they are sold to different owners. There are no lectures, just an interesting story, well suited to early grade schoolers. Those interested in learning more about Alaska, sled dog racing, and those who are animal lovers will enjoy this charming book. No violence.
