Review by Tyler
Last week, I read a book about the Iditarod in Alaska. I really liked it a lot and this book was suggested to me. I am sure glad that I read it. I liked it so much that I sat down and read the whole thing yesterday. I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I learned that it is important that you try your best, whether you win or lose. My favorite part about the book was when the dogs put the boy into first place when they started out running. I don't want to completely give away the story, but there were some really sad parts too. If I were going to enter the Iditarod, I would use my two dogs, Ariel and Spanky, for the racing. I'd also make myself skinny and light so they could run faster. I think it would be fun to enter the Iditarod, but it would also be very hard. I'd give some of my winning money to my family and then I'd give some to the hospital to help out sick people. I think lots of people would like this book, especially people who live in Alaska, Antarctica, or Canada and people who love dogs.
Tyler, the book Stone Fox is a wonderful book and I am glad you read it. There are lots of connections between this book and the Iditarod race that is held in Alaska each year. Learning that is always important to try your best in whatever you do is a very important lesson for your life. Thank you for sharing your book reviews!

I'm glad you liked Stone Fox! Some one recommended The Lemonade War today. (I haven't read it.) http://www.amazon.com/Lemonade-War/dp/0618750436/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1339457326&sr=1-1
ReplyDeleteI think Spanky and Ariel would be great dogs to snuggle up with on those cold nights during the Iditarod race! Thank you for warning us that there are some sad parts in the book...it's good to know that ahead of time. I am super glad you are sharing your reading journey with us!
