(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robin James. Gill relates fourteen stories of real-life Alaskan dogs noted for their courage, strength, endurance, intelligence, and loyalty. The single-page vignettes include heroes such as world-famous Balto; Stickeen, naturalist explorer John Muir's companion in 1880; and Tekla, owned by Susan Butcher, four-time Iditarod winner. The accompanying full-page pup portraits are often static. Teacher suggestions for group and individual activities are included.
