This book is every bit as good as I remember, holds up despite its age, and is a work of comedic genius. And it teaches children that Bayonne, New Jersey is the muffin capital of the world.

I don't love this nearly as much as Pinkwater's chapter books, but it still has his goofy sense of humor.

While I read lots of kidlit and YA lit, I rarely read picture books. But I couldn’t resist this after following some discussion of it on Goodreads. And now I think I’m hooked on Daniel and Jill Pinkwater. This book is a hoot! It's laugh out loud funny. You can tell, of course, from the last page that there is going to be more. I’m off to find out what these bears are up to next. I hope we get to meet Officer Bunny again, too!

Are Irving and Muktuk bad bears or do they just love blueberry muffins too much? I don't remember how this ended up on my TBR, but it's a super cute story.
