Description
An exciting Graphic reader about a heroic sled dog of the Alaska serum run that helped to treat diphtheria. ~Amber
Publisher's Description of Togo Takes the Lead (Graphic Library Heroic Animals)
In January 1925, many people in Nome, Alaska, and the surrounding area
were sick and dying from an outbreak of diphtheria. A supply of medicine
was found but there was one problem—it was hundreds of miles away. The
only way to get it to Nome was by dogsled. Ride along with the heroic
sled dog Togo and his owner, Leonhard Sepalla, as they make a dangerous
journey across Alaska’s unforgiving wilderness to deliver lifesaving
medicine to the people of Nome.
Category Description for Graphic History Library
If you have a reluctant reader that struggles with reading books you assign for school and prefers comic books to library books, you might want to try out one of these visually-oriented topical history titles. Each 32-page book explores an event from American or world history in a format very similar to a comic book. Text is conveyed through boxes of narration and dialogue balloons, accompanied by full-page, dramatic full-color illustrations and scenes. Additional facts, a glossary, suggested internet sites, recommended reading, a bibliography, and an index are included as well. While the text is fairly minimal, the essence of each event comes across pretty well here, and each title is a fast read. Although a serious reader will not get much out of these, they offer a viable alternative to struggling or reluctant readers, filling their minds with something more educational - and real - than typical comic-book heroics. - Jess
