Balto and the Great Race

This was a very informative book. I felt that it was a bit hard to get into at the beginning, but things started to really get moving when the race began! Once it started to pick up, it just kept going and ended with a bang! I thought that with just this young children's chapter book I was able to learn more about Alaska. I really like how this book was based on a real story and that if I wanted to I could go visit Balto's statue or the museum where he is being preserved! I have already suggested that this be one of my husband's reads during his deployment to Afghanistan!
