Chiens de traîneau en Alaska

The early morning setting adds a magical and fresh feel to the story. I wonder if the author wanted to emphasize new beginnings or the quiet beauty of dawn.

Balto's courage in the face of danger made me root for him even more. I’m curious how young readers interpret his heroism—do they see it as relatable or extraordinary?

Balto and his friends have personalities and emotions that feel very real, which makes the story so engaging. I wonder what inspired the choice to give animals such depth and personality.
