Kamik Takes the Lead

This is a very sweet story about a boy who loves his dogs and takes care of them every day, even if he doesn’t feel like it. He’s training to run a dogsled race.

The book offers a glimpse of what it’s like to live in another place and culture, so kids who want to learn about that kind of lifestyle will love this story. The font is a little hard to read and the pictures are simple but do a good job of complementing the words.

Kamik Takes the Lead reads like a journal without any major plot, so it’s a quick read. It’s a good book about the love of dogs.
