    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.

    Lion

    By William Pène du Bois

    High in the sky, in the place where animals are invented, the boss comes up with a wonderful new name for an animal—“lion.” His difficulty in deciding what it should look like is depicted in a line drawing of his original idea of a lion, complete with feathers, fur, and fish scales.
