Danger The Dog Yard Cat

by Libby Riddles (Iditarod Winner) with Shelley Gill, illustrated by Shannon Cartwright

Paperback

The first woman to win the 1049-mile Iditarod introduces her cat, Danger, and his tale of life on the Last Frontier.

In 1985 Libby Riddles became the first woman to win the grueling 1049-mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. She won after risking her life in a dangerous winter storm that swept across the sea ice of Norton Sound, pinning her team down for hours.  But she managed to get out of the last village before the other racers and they were forced to stay there wondering where Libby was. When the weather cleared she was so far out in front, nobody could catch her.  Her gamble had paid off.

This comical, lyrical story introduces us to a cool cat with sled dog dreams!
