In the latest Irving and Muktuk installment, the muffin-loving polar bears are shipped to the Bayonne, New Jersey, zoo with a note that they aren't to be trusted. In this droll but unfocused story, the bears sneak off to visit a polar bear who leaves the zoo each night for his own apartment. The ink and felt-tip illustrations are agreeable if repetitive.
