When the town gathers to celebrate Purim, a hungry bear cub, lured by the smell of honey, is mistaken for a fellow costumed reveler. A young boy realizes the bear is real, but no one believes him until the bear growls. The soft-colored gouache paintings done in a folk-art style enhance the straightforward telling. An author's note includes information about Purim.
