Summary: When Jasper the dachshund hears about the
world's biggest dog sled race in Alaska, he just knows he can win. And when his
family goes to watch the race, he decides to enter. Jasper tries every
position, but he's too little and doesn't fit into the sled's harness. That
doesn't stop him. Jasper sneaks aboard a team sled and finds a way to become a
part of the team. His yappy enthusiasm keeps them moving, and Jasper learns how
much energy it takes to pull the sled. In the final stretch of the race, his
team is neck-and-neck with another sled. Can Jasper help lead his team to
victory? Will they win by a (long, pointy) nose?
Review: I had to read this book because it had dachshunds on the cover and they are my favorite breed. This is a picture book that teaches the lesson of teamwork and being helpful because of who you are despite being different. Jasper the dachshund wants to join a sled dog race so he can feel part of the team and have fun competing. The sled dogs think he won’t cut it, but Jasper ends up being the star of the big race. This book has a great message and cute illustrations.
