Cute as anything, let me tell you, and I appreciate a little taste of that northern culture. This was quite an informative as well as entertaining book! Togo and Seppala have clear personalities for being just a dog and a sled driver. There´s a lot of emotion, and the illustrations do a great job of intensifying that emotion. It´s very exciting, if a bit long, so hopefully kids would stand to listen. . And summed up by saying Go Togo!. Currently Togo has an overall rating of 10 over 10.

Robert J. Blake claimed Togo wasn´t meant to be a sled dog. He was too feisty and independent to make a good team member, let alone a leader. But Togo is determined, and when his trainer, Leonhard Seppala, gives him a chance, he soon becomes one of the fastest sled dogs in history! His skills are put to the ultimate test, though, when Seppala and his team are called on to make the now-famous run across the frozen Arctic to deliver the serum that will save Alaska from a life-threatening outbreak of diphtheria. In the style of Akiak, winner of the Irma S. and James H. Black Award for Excellence in Children´s Literature, along with five state awards, Robert J. Blake´s detailed, carefully researched oil paintings complete the story of the adventure that inspired the internationally famous Iditarod race.
