From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6 In this sequel to Thomas' The Comeback Dog (Houghton, 1981), Daniel is attracted by Uncle Pete's far-flung wildlife adventures that make his routine farm existence appear dull by comparison. Angered when his father says that he will not like trapping, Daniel asks his Uncle Pete to help him set up a trapline. To Daniel, trapping seems to be a more glamorous method of making a living than picking barrels of peaches and milking cows. He develops and matures as he confronts the realities of having to kill the animals trapped by his snares, then reevaluates his relationships with his father and his uncle. Thomas' sound knowledge of farm life coupled with her emotionally charged writing style and Howell's dramatic illustrations makes this an interesting and satisfying book. His stark pencil drawings enhance the dramatic tension created by the text, creating a true marriage between text and illustration. Charlene J. Lenzen, Hales Corners Lutheran School, Wis.
