Born to Pull

This is a wonderful resource to accompany any study about sled dog racing, whether it is an Iditarod unit, or a study of Woodsong, or other book about racing by Gary Paulsen. The book includes information on what makes a good sled dog, breeds, how dogs live (food, activities, and care), how they communicate with other dogs and humans, training, and racing. The author, Bob Cary, and illustrator, Gail de Marcken, are both from Ely, Minnesota, and the book is rich in content with superb illustrations that say more than photographs possibly could.
