About this book
The Bravest Dog Ever: The True Story of Balto recounts the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska, in which Balto, a lead sled dog, guided his team through a fierce snowstorm to deliver diphtheria antitoxin to sick children. Written by Natalie Standiford for early readers, the story describes the extreme cold, the relentless blizzard, and the urgent need for medicine in a remote town. Balto and his mushers, including lead musher Gunnar Kaasen, face hazardous conditions as they race against time to save lives. Aimed at kindergarten to third-grade readers, the book tells the historic event in simple language while showing Balto's courage and determination.
