Great book about Ziva the puppy who was born with one brown eye and one blue eye. Ziva liked to look at the moon and smell the wind. None of the mushers wanted her to pull their sled because of her two-colour eyes. They thought that meant she was half wild and so they were scared of her and didn't want her. Finally one man came along who did want her and he took her home. Ziva took a liking to the man and enjoyed following in his boot steps and learning how to pull a sled but at night when the m...more
A lovely story about mushers' dogs and their attachment to the team and humans. When the man finds Ziva, with one blue eye and one brown eye, he feels a connection to her...even though most say that her eyes mean she will only hear the call of the wild.
He is gentle and trains her with patience and companionship. When he finally gives Ziva the option to run free, will she accept it, or stay with the man and the team?
Used for "Blow, Wind, Blow" Storytime: April, 2012.

Great picture book. Held my three year old's attention almost all the way to the end. Will read this one again when he is a little older.
would be appropriate as a sled dog story for preschoolers - on the longer side or as an intro to Alaska for a school study
I really like Iditarod related stories, and this one was great!
