Illustrated by
Jill Pinkwater.
When bad bears Irving and Muktuk sneak out of the zoo, they decide to go visiting. Their victims are the Beachball family, and in fairly short order, the police arrive, demanding that Irving and Muktuk come out with their paws up, "as usual." Jill Pinkwater's illustrations deftly provide the subtext, even as the narration continues on its deadpan way.
