School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 1-In this adventurous story set during an Alaskan sled dog race, a spunky young dachshund named Jasper is determined to be part of a "big dog" team. After showing the huskies that he has what it takes to compete, Jasper is told that he is simply too small. Convinced that he can help, he sneaks aboard a sled just as the nine-day race commences. The petite pup then puts his whole heart into finding a way to help his furry friends succeed. Illustrated with vibrant scenes depicting the snowy action, this title is sure to inspire little ones with the idea that sometimes enthusiasm and courage can be as important as size. VERDICT Perfect for one-on-one shares or as a winning storytime offering that will hold young listeners' attention until the last page.-Mary Jennings, Camano Island Library, WA © Copyright 2016.
