Synopsis
Can a small dog with a big bark find a way to help a team of huskies win the sled race?
When Jasper the dachshund hears about the world’s biggest dog sled race in Alaska, he just knows he can win. And when his family goes to watch the race, he decides to enter. Jasper tries every position, but he’s too little and doesn’t fit into the sled’s harness. That doesn’t stop him! Jasper sneaks aboard a team sled and finds a way to become a part of the team. His yappy enthusiasm keeps them moving, and Jasper learns how much energy and teamwork it takes to pull the sled. In the final stretch of the race, his team is neck-and-neck with another sled. Can Jasper help lead his team to victory? Will they win by a (long, pointy) nose?
Perfect for fans of Weiner Wolf, Akiak: A Tale From the Iditarod, Lumpito and the Painter from Spain, A Dachshund's Wish, and anyone who loves the adventurous spirit of dachshunds!

Reviews
PreS-Gr 1—In this adventurous story set during an Alaskan sled dog race, a spunky young dachshund named Jasper is determined to be part of a "big dog" team. After showing the huskies that he has what it takes to compete, Jasper is told that he is simply too small. Convinced that he can help, he sneaks aboard a sled just as the nine-day race commences. The petite pup then puts his whole heart into finding a way to help his furry friends succeed. Illustrated with vibrant scenes depicting the snowy action, this title is sure to inspire little ones with the idea that sometimes enthusiasm and courage can be as important as size. VERDICT Perfect for one-on-one shares or as a winning storytime offering that will hold young listeners' attention until the last page.—Mary Jennings, Camano Island Library, WA
