On the way, Bub meets Snow the wolf pup and Chippy the beaver, who have their own ways of getting through the winter. And, despite his mom’s warnings about people, Bub eats the hay left out by children who want to help the small, hungry moose family. After braving the elements, Bub is ready to take things easy when they reach the valley. It’s much warmer and there’s food aplenty, as well as new friends Raney and Sweet Pea—draft horses on a nearby farm.

Can he overcome his fear and discover the kind of moose he wants to be?
