Illustrated by
Nora Koerber.
In 1925, the children of Nome, Alaska, were saved from a diphtheria epidemic thanks to the heroic efforts of a sled dog whose team delivered a supply of antitoxin serum. Thoughts and memories attributed to the dog mar the story, but readers will relish this chapter book's account of Balto's hazardous journey and the story of what happened to him after he became a national hero.
