Review
Beautiful pencil and watercolor illustrations help tell the story of the Iditarod. Seibert tells the history of the sled dogs and the sleds that were originally built and used by the Inuit, and then adopted by the settlers who came to Alaska. As modern transportation replaced the dogsled, one man, Joe Redington, wanted people to remember the heroic dogs who brought the medicine to Nome in 1925. Thus, the Iditarod was establish in 1973. The text describes the training and some of the difficulties faced by the intrepid racers and their dogs. A good choice for younger readers. -- MARILYN COURTOT - CHILDREN'S LITERATURE
Gr. 2-4 Children often assume that all dogs are pets. But the sled dogs that run in the annual 1,000-plus-mile Iditarod race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska, are work dogs, just as their ancestors were. The race was organized...in 1973 as a tribute to the sled dogs that delivered lifesaving diphtheria medicine to Nome in 1925. This striking volume...begins with a history of the relationship between the Eskimos, or Inuits, and their dogs....The smooth text is sprinkled with fascinating details....The dogs wear hand-sewn booties for protection, and a driver may need as many as 1,000 for a single race. Attractive watercolor paintings portray the strong, handsome animals and starkly beautiful landscape, and delicate, distinctive border scenes embellish many of the pages of text. An unusual volume that celebrates a unique vision of survival and courage along icy paths of triumph. -- BOOKLIST; September 15, 1992
