review 1: This was an interesting well written book that has a place in the book world but did not grab me. It would take a well read fifth grader or older to understand the subtle weaving a of the real story, post apocalyptic world that humans tried to destroy with animals set against them for all they have done...most children would just take this at face value, an animal story where they go on an adventure to restore the human to his world. The story did not grab me and the exciting parts were not exciting to me.
review 2: On an Earth where mankind has been wiped out by a nameless catastrophe, only animals remain. The bears, coyotes, rats, dogs, and other woodland creatures are subjects of the Forest, living cheek by jowl among the ruins left behind by the fabled �
... more�Old Devils.” But mankind, it appears, hasn’t completely disappeared for good. When a spaceship crash-lands in a meadow, killing all aboard except for a small boy, the lonesome she-bear Casseomae rescues the young’un and treats him as her own cub. Some animals, however, fear the child as a sign that the dreaded Old Devils are due to return and reclaim the Forest. Determined to protect her newly adopted “cub” from hostile parties, Casseomae sets out to find a place where she and her ward can live in safety. A truly creative story that straddles the line between fantasy and science fiction, The Prince Who Fell From the Sky is richly imagined, as well as a delight to read. Recommended for Ages 9-12. less

The personification of the animals didn't grab me like I hoped, but fun premise anyway.
