As in Bub Moose, this sequel mixes nature with anthropomorphized characters. The young moose and his mother, along with a wolf pup, some beavers and otters, a horse, and two "people" children, have small winter adventures, during which they encounter Burly Bear. Predictably, the friendly animals and humans win out in the end. The black-and-white pencil and wash drawings look dated.
