About the Book

An exquisite prose poem and stunning watercolors bring the beauty of a nighttime dogsled run to life. This picture book is a companion to two of Gary Paulsen's most beloved books, Newbery Honor recipient Dogsong, and Woodsong. Full color.

Book Synopsis

On a moonlit winter night, a team of dogs pulls a sled, taking the narrator and readers on a wondrous ride through the snow, into and out of the woods. It is a ride you'll wish would never end.

Through this exquisite prose poem, Gary Paulsen shares the joy, the beauty, and the grandeur of the outdoors. With his joyous text and Ruth Wright Paulsen's exuberant and expressive illustrations, Dogteam is a celebration of nature, a dance that invites everyone to join in.
