I read the balto books, and i was wondering if anyone else read them too... i'm going to reread tehm again because i dont know if the true balto was Half Wolf or not... who knows

no i havent read any of them yet but im planning to
and Balto was a Siberian Husky not a wolfdog

I plan on getting them sometime soon, it will be interesting to read about the actual event and RedFoxWolf is right, the real Balto was a Siberian husky.

One of my book says Balto was half-wolf. I believe it, too.

hmmm, a question worth looking up.


The being half wolf i mean.

I've read:

Balto the hero
Balto the true story

kewel, i think that balto is a siberian huskey.... but hey, it's worth looking up on the internet.

Most are little kids books but I have a couple that I reread a lot. Let me recommend the novel 'The Cruelest Miles' It's the greatest book and I met one of the co-authors who answered lots of questions. They know what they're talking about in it.

The cruelist miles is a great book!

i haven't read the balto books yet, actually...i didn't know there were any. hmm...i might read them.

Finally, someone here who knew that book! I highly recommend it. It has anything and everything you'd need to know about the run

cool. i think i'm gonna read them!

I'm typing this message from my local library right now, where I came looking for that book, and guess what? THEY DON'T HAVE IT!! Holy fewmets, I'm so angry...

I knew there were Balto books but everyone ive seen is a little kids book. I mean, Balto and the Great Race, The Bravest Dog Ever, and several others. I read one book about Balto that was reasonably long and if i remember correctly, pretty good too. I think i might have been The Cruelest Miles course, when i read it i didn't know anything about Balto. I think it was like. . . .3rd or 4th grade that we read it. At that time i wasn't much of a reader. Plus, i really didn't care about whatever had gone on up in Alaska. All I can say is whatever the book was called, i read it only once. That was during school, and i didn't really care.
Didn't pay attention to it, and i remember falling asleep and drooling all over the pages 1 or 2 times.



Balto was pure husky. Universal made up his half wolf side in the movie for entertainment purposes only. Also he wasn't a stray. As opposed to being an outcast like in the movie. Alot of the things in the movie are complete fiction.

Hmmmm cool, I never knew there were balto books, *sigh* so much of this world I have missed, such a pity *sighs then laughs loudly*
