Goodreads

A new series that is essentially the Magic Tree House series with dogs instead of kids. The old dogs time travel in an old van – and turn into puppies – to help real-life famous dogs. In this adventure, the dogs travel to 1925 Alaska to help Balto deliver medicine during a diphtheria outbreak. The premise seems pretty silly to me, but the pace is quick and dog lovers may enjoy the puppy antics. Author’s Notes at the end describe the historical event and the liberties the author takes in the story.
