From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-This sequel to Bub Moose (S & S, 2001) can stand on its own. Bub and his mother face a hard winter and have a tough time finding food. When they reach their valley, they find that it has been taken over by humans, and Bub makes friends with the children who leave hay out for the animals.
