Gr 1-3-Balto, a sled dog, and his team traverse 53 miles of ice and snow in the Alaskan wilderness to deliver medicine in this 48-page beginning reader by Natalie Standiford (Random, 1989). Donald Cook's full-color illustrations are expressive, and John Gabriel's narration is slow enough for students to follow along. Music and sound effects add to the overall appeal of this story that is based on an actual event. One track has page-turn signals. Ideal for classroom listening or independent reading.-Leigh Ann Rumsey, Penn Yan Academy, NY Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

This true story of how a dog and his dogsled team fought their way through a blizzard and were able to save some very sick children is excellent. Children grades 1-3 may be able to read this story by themselves. It is well illustrated with hand drawn colour pictures taking up at least half the page and add to the understanding of the story. A great story to use as a starting point for discussions about other cultures, climates and history.
