We recently read a book called Foxy’s Tale, about a champion Alaskan sled dog. The kids really enjoyed the story, and at the end we emailed the author. He very generously emailed us back, and met us in Gainesville to give us a Foxy’s Tale tee shirt, and sign our book. The kids asked him lots of questions and had a great time meeting a ‘famous person!’ |
Audrey drew a picture of what she thought Foxy looked like for Mr. White |
The kids with Ed White, author of Foxy’s Tale in Gainesville, after he signed our book. He is holding the picture Audrey made for him. |
This was a great book! Made better by meeting Mr. Ed White. Here you see the shirt, and a signed copy of our book. If your family is interested in learning about sled dogs, this is a great place to start. If you’d like to order a copy of this book you can do so by emailing Foxystale@hotmail.com or they have it on the Iditarod site too! |
We have not picked our mushers yet. We plan to do it this week, as the race is right around the corner! We have limited our choices to: Dee Dee Jonroe, Doug Swingley, Martin Buser, Jeff King (winner last year) and Aliy Zirkle. |
