Bear Party

By William Pène du Bois

When the koala bears become very angry with each other, it is “the wise old bear who lives at the top of the tallest Eucalyptus tree” who decides what to do. The koala bears are shown dressed in all the finery of a masked costume party, while wonderful onomatopoeic words describe the sounds of the musical instruments.
