Not surprisingly, the Iditarod is gaining nationwide acceptance in schools as a useful tool for teaching a broad array of subjects, at levels from kindergarten through high school. The Iditarod has even generated its own literature, with dozens of books already published and more in the works. These books range in quality from superb to not very good, in reading level from pre-school to graduate level, and cover a number of different themes under the overall Iditarod umbrella. This bibliography is an attempt to create a reasonably comprehensive annotated Iditarod bibliography with enough information to allow teachers and other interested readers to make informed decisions about Iditarod-related books. Some books will deal directly with the Iditarod, some with related subjects such as dog mushing and history.
Some books are old or out of print.
Some are not yet published. This bibliography is intended to grow as the literature centered around the Iditarod expands. 415 W. 15th Ave., Anchorage, AK 99501. 1068 Fireweed Ln., Anchorage, AK 99508.
