The Bravest Dog Ever: The True Story of Balto
by Natalie Standiford
Summary: Recounts the life of Balto, the sled dog who saved Nome, Alaska in 1925 from a diphtheria epidemic by delivering medicine through a raging snowstorm
This is an excellent non-fiction read for beginning readers! This is an inspiring survival tale about the abilities of dogs. This might be a good book to discuss with children that a dog can make it on their own when they are on vacation (especially when someone is looking after them) or to inspire hope if a dog is lost.
