Very good book. Very nice artwork. Very nicely laid out. Really explained every aspect of dogsledding. Definitely a great go to book if you wanted to explain any part of dogsledding.
There is a also a few stories mixed in with all the details on dog sledding. Those stories are good, but not as amazing as stories you get from a Gary Paulsen book. I would have liked a lot more stories.
I put this under the category of Youth because it would with the pictures and concise writing would be good for children, but anyone who has an interest in dog sledding would enjoy the book.

Read this before going dogsledding, and it gave the perfect amount of information, science, and anecdotes about sled dogs and the people who love them. Illustrations are out of this world beautiful. Despite the fact that this is an illustrated book, it isn't childish -- my husband and I both got a lot out of it as an adult read.
