Illustrated by Kozo Kakimoto
Yet another story featuring the ever popular Mr Bear who, this time in doing a good deed, unwittingly become a member of a gang of robbers. Fortunately though, everything turns out for the best thanks to our hero's gullibility. This paperback edition retains the high quality look and feel of the original hardback book and will appeal to most under sixes.
