Balto and the Great Race by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel illustrated by Nora Koerber*

My second grade checked this out of his school's library.
He liked it because he thought it was amazing that Balto knew exactly where to go and knew when the ice was too thin.
Not only does this story relate how Balto brings an antitoxin serum to relieve the Nome residents who have succumbed to diphtheria, it also shares the aftermath of Balto's life until his death.
*Highly recommend.
