I thoroughly enjoy reading Woodsong with my class every year. Gary Paulsen really does use wonderful imagery! This story has it all! Action-Witnessing nature and what REALLY occurs. (Wolf attacks, Bear attacks, blizzards, etc...) Heart Touching-Storm almost brings me to tears. We really are animals of the forest and we know nothing,and Paulsen lets us know it with vivid events.

I think this was a wonderful book. When I read with my book group we always had questions. I would give Gary Paulson two thumbs up. There was always somthing exciting going on. When he told the story you could feel what he was going through the situation, how he felt about entering the biggest and longest dog sled race in the world. I recomend this to anyone who likes a good adventure book. This book is definitely worth reading.

I really liked this book because the way he expressed his feelings made it seem completely real, and like it was happening to me. It shows how dogs are truly loyal to a person when they really need them. It also shows how hallucinations can seem so real, yet are just a trick being played on your mind. I like Gary Paulsen's writing very much because he puts a lot of feeling into his works, and he proves that dogs are really more loyal than you think. I would recommend any of his books to anyone who was looking for a good outstanding, informational, extremely interesting book.
