1) Paperback Book Dogteam by Dragonfly Books. Gary Paulson´s Dogteam is a beautifully written prose poem that describes a dogteam´s running on a cold winter´s night. As the author takes the reader across the moonlit trail, the sensory, descriptive words make you feel you are truly on the trail with the team. The watercolor illustrations by Ruth Wright Paulson capture the eagerness the dogs feel for running at night. I use this book with third grade students to model the use of descriptive language in writing. The children love the book and read it over and over.

2) Paperback Book Dogteam by Dragonfly Books. Beautiful illustrations and vivid, descriptive sentences! I purchased this book to teach my first graders about descriptive writing. They were in awe of the book! Living in the south, most of them have never even seen snow or even heard of dog sledding. After having been dog sledding myself I knew I had to find a way to share the experience and this book was it! It is truly one of my favorites!¤

3) Paperback Book Dogteam by Dragonfly Books. DOGTEAM is a beautifully illustrated, as well as beautifully, simply, dramatically written book. It is not exactly a children´s picture book, but more for lovers of dogs of all ages. Gary Paulsen is the author and retired dogsledder, who is most remembered for his young adult books such as HATCHET and DOGSONG. Ruth Wright Paulsen is his wife and the spectacular watercolor illustrator of the book. The picture book seems to be based on Paulsen´s midnight adventures with his beloved dogteam, and readers will feel as if they are running alongside the dogteam, the sled whispering behind them. A great book.¤

4) Paperback Book Dogteam by Dragonfly Books. On a moonlit winter night, a team of dogs pulls a sled, taking the narrator and readers on a wondrous ride through the snow, into and out of the woods. It is a ride you´ll wish would never end.

Through this exquisite prose poem, Gary Paulsen shares the joy, the beauty, and the grandeur of the outdoors. With his joyous text and Ruth Wright Paulsen´s exuberant and expressive illustrations, Dogteam is a celebration of nature, a dance that invites everyone to join in.¤
