IRVING AND MUKTUK: Two Bad Bears

Daniel Manus Pinkwater, , illus. by Jill Pinkwater. . Houghton, $5.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-618-35404-7

In this follow-up to their Larry picture books (the polar bear with a hankering for blueberry muffins), the Pinkwaters showcase the town of Yellowtooth as it celebrates the New Year with a Blueberry Muffin Festival—starring the shifty-eyed bears costumed as penguins, chefs or "extremely large, hairy blueberry muffins." Ages 4-8. (Aug.)
