Publisher's summary

Balto has a quiet life as a sled dog - until tragedy strikes. Dozens of children in Nome become sick with diphtheria. Without antitoxin serum, they will perish - and the closest supply is 650 miles away! The only way to get the serum to Nome is by sled, but can the dogs deliver it in time? Heading bravely into a brutal blizzard, Balto leads the race for life.

A Win for My Kindergartener!

I am always looking for good stories for my kindergartener. Sometimes themes and plots are too mature, but this true story was a perfect addition to our audiobook collection. The narration is clear and engaging.

Nice read

This book is so sigma it made me want to read it 15 times. Great for people on a kindergarten reading level like me even though I’m 57 years old.

Great story!

The story was very interesting, especially the part when Balto takes the lead. The way the story was told, made me feel like I was right there with them. Loved it!
