Description:

Irving and Muktuk are polar bears in the Bayonne, New Jersey, zoo. They wish they had privileges like their polar bear friend Roy, who goes home every night at six o clock. But they are known as bad bears. The Zoo Director thinks Irving and Muktuk are not to be trusted.
One morning a small white bunny shows up, eating grass at the edge of the polar bear enclosure. Irving and Muktuk aren t sure what to make of it. They don t know how to behave. They make the bunny mad. Trouble is brewing at the zoo.
When their friend Roy invites them to a party at a fancy hotel, Irving and Muktuk are asked to behave themselves. They assure Roy that they can be trusted. But trust doesn t come easily, and when the bears arrive at the party, they are soon put to the test."
