Publisher's Summary

An experienced Iditarod racer, Gary Paulsen brings his love of the sport to readers on a personal level in this intimate essay about the life of a litter of pups born to pull sleds across the snowy frontier - and the marvel he experiences as he watches them grow and learn.

What the critics say

“Gary Paulsen, three of whose novels, Hatchet, Dogsong, and The Winter Room, have been Newbery Honor books, focuses in Puppies, Dogs, and Blue Northers on Cookie, his longtime companion and lead dog in the Iditarod, the grueling Alaskan cross-country sled race... characteristically nonstop action.” ( The New York Times Book Review)

Short and Sweet

I really enjoyed listening to Gary Paulson's reflections on being raised by a pack of sled dogs. His dogs are so wonderful and spirited that it really makes me want to start my own sled dog team. Overall, I enjoyed the book for the entirety of its short duration (I just wished it was a bit longer).
