Readers will love this next installment of the uproarious, award-winning Mother Bruce series.
Ryan T. Higgins is a New York Times
Bestselling author/illustrator residing in Southern Maine. He lives with his
two dogs, two cats, one gecko, one tortoise, one son, one daughter, and one
wife. As a child, he lived on a diet of cartoons, cheese sandwiches, and
climbing trees. At the age of four he decided to become a cartoonist and he’s
been making his own cartoons ever since.
Bruce isn't crazy about the mice who have taken over his home and never left. With the four geese following their crazy plans, life gets stressful. So he packs up the geese and moves.Bruce is grumpy about all the chaos in the house, but he's also really sweet too. The mice are certainly a handful and get into all kinds of trouble. The story's both funny and sweet. And the illustrations are charming. This is the third Bruce book and all are charming.
Grumpy Bruce likes to be left alone. He loves eating eggs. He finds recipes on the internet and creates them. But one day, the eggs hatch instead. Bruce becomes mother to four goslings. He is not pleased. But what's a beat to do?My Thoughts: I'm a little late to the party on this one. I read about the sequel on Twitter and it sounded good, so I ordered both for my library. And I'm so happy I did. This one is funny and sarcastic - this book was a delight. I adored it. Bruce has great intentions but things don't work out as planned. He tries to make the best of it, but he's not always happy about it. The pictures were charming. An entertaining read that sure to please.
Final Thoughts: Highly Recommended for all public libraries.
