Irving and Muktuk, two bad bears with a weakness for blueberry muffins, return for their third hilarious adventure in Bad Bears and a Bunny. Lovable, clueless, and wholly untrustworthy, they make the mistake of taunting a little white bunny, only to learn that bunnies can be VERY dangerous...

Bad Bears and a Bunny by Daniel Pinkwater - Irving and Muktuk are polar bears who live at the Bayonne New Jersey zoo with another bear names Roy. Irving and Muktuk are known to be bad bears, unlike Roy who has earned extra privileges for good behavior. One day they spy a dangerous looking bunny near their enclosure, so they hide. When Roy's brother Larry invites the bears to a party, he invites the bunny to the party too! What will the two bad bears do? ~Ms. Becky, 2009
A simpler story than the other Bad Bears and Larry stories I've read so far - not as many winks & nudges. Well, the sly expressions of our heroes were cute. And the fact that Larry's favorite performer was shown on Roy's television was a neat touch. But this one just wasn't as captivating to me. It might, on the other hand, be more accessible to small children as it is more straightforward.

I picked up this third book in the Bad Bears series and the fourth book too, and on my way home bought some blueberry (bran) muffins and ate one while reading the two books. Yes, these Bad Bear books can cause a hankering for muffins.
This is probably my least favorite book of the four I’ve read. There are five published so far and I hope Daniel and Jill Pinkwater write and illustrate many more.

As bad as I thought the original book was, this one is worse. The artistic style is harsh and not welcoming at all in my opinion. The storyline is jerky and confusing to young readers. Not worth the minutes it takes to read it.
Another laugh out loud silly book.
