Illustrated by
Jill Pinkwater.
When Irving and Muktuk, two "bad bears," tease a bunny, it retaliates and kicks and bites them. Later, they are invited to a party on the condition they behave (though they intend otherwise), but when they see the bunny, they're too nervous to act up. Although the story feels unresolved, it's amusing and enhanced by the sly illustrations.
