Moon Bears, or Asiatic black bears, are so named because of the white moon-shaped blaze on their chests.  The moon bears are seldom seen but their footprints, claw marks, hair, and bear nests high in the trees give us clues about how they live.  Sadly, there are now more moon bears in captivity than in the wild, as these animals are being "farmed" for their commercially valuable bile.Brenda Guiberson's lyrical text and Ed Young's stunning illustrations combine in a winning tribute to this endagered species.  Follow one moon bear in the wild as she eats, plays, hibernates, and wakes up again in the spring.

亚洲黑熊，因为颈下胸前有一条明显的白色月牙状斑纹，也被人们成为月熊。本书采用一问一答的形式，配合极具视觉冲击力的拼贴图画，还原了一只月熊在野外生活的状态，它怎样觅食，怎样游戏，怎样冬眠，意在唤起读者关注月熊，爱护自然，保护动物。
