The latest book in the Black Bear Sled Dog series makes a great gift for young readers. In Run Like a Sled Dog, Black Bear is the only sled dog around, but she needs a little help with a big sled dog job. Black Bear meets some unexpected friends in this light-hearted rhyming tale. Who will fit into Black Bear's harness and pull alongside her? "Hoot, the alpaca, looks very strong, but the harness won't fit him. His neck is too long." Young audiences will enjoy the upbeat surprise ending that reminds us all to follow our dreams.

In this Christmas adventure, Black Bear returns to Alaska to visit the homestead where she was born. On her way, she decides to visit the town of North Pole, Alaska so she can meet Santa. She arrives in North Pole just in time to catch a ride in Santa's sleigh. They arrive at Black Bear's old home on the Yukon as the snow begins to fall. The snow is so heavy that the reindeer can't fly. Why can't a lead sled dog help out? Black Bear and her sled dog friends return to the trail of the Yukon Quest to help Santa deliver the presents on time.
