Bruce the bear likes to keep to himself. That, and eat eggs. But when his hard-boiled goose eggs turn out to be real, live goslings, he starts to lose his appetite. And even worse, the goslings are convinced he's their mother. Bruce tries to get the geese to go south, but he can't seem to rid himself of his new companions. What's a bear to do?

The story has been done before - grumpy bear (person) falls in love with tiny creatures pressed upon him in error. But this is hilarious. Bruce has a computer and can buy plane tickets too. Adults may laugh harder than the children for whom the book is intended.
Wow. A future classic. This is likely the funniest children's book available! Parents and children laugh aloud as they turn each page!The Illustrations alone deserve their own exhibit. The attention to detail will reveal something you hadn't seen each time you read it. The story creatively illustrates the follies of animal behavior and evolutionary biology that befall a bear and his dinner. Hilarity ensues and you laugh as you and your children learn how this bear solves problems.This will likely be your child's new favorite bedtime story. So much laughter they'll be ready to hibernate when it's over, seriously!My wife and I like this book so much we've bought several additional copies as gifts for our friends to read with their children this Christmas.Do not miss this wonderful literary adventure!
I haven't enjoyed a children's book as much as Mother Bruce in a long time! I think I liked it so much because of his wit and humor with a bit of sarcasm thrown in the mix. It's a truly unique book with a wonderful story.Bruce is a grumpy old bear who doesn't like anything or anyone. Along comes an unexpected life changing moment when his eggs he was preparing to eat, hatched! Bruce because in an instant parent. Try as he may he can not get rid of these little goslings. They are instantly attached to him, mistaking him for their mother as it's the first face they see when they come into the world!You can see Bruce's attachment to them grow, even if his demeanor doesn't reflect it. It's the subtlety in his actions and the wonderful illustrations that go along with it demonstrate this beautifully.This book made me laugh because it reminded me a lot of being a mom! Little ones all lined up to eat, taking care of them, not always listening, chaos and most importantly, unconditional love.This is a great example of family by choice and that sometimes the ones we love the most aren't necessarily family by blood. Bruce needed these little goslings to come into his life and give him a big chunk of good old fashioned love!This story is witty, heartwarming and endearing and I love reading Mother Bruce to my kids!Disclaimer: I received this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
This book is hilarious. It starts off with a grumpy bear named Bruce who only likes one thing- eggs. "But Bruce didn't eat eggs raw like other bears. Instead he cooked them into fancy recipes that he found on the internet". One day, his eggs end up hatching and a case of mistaken "Mommy" identity ensues. This ol' curmudgeon reluctantly accepts the task of raising these young goslings (but not before attempting to return them to their mother who had taken taken this opportunity to skip town). All seems to be going along until winter approaches- Bruce has to hibernate and the goslings have to fly south!The grumpy bear and the adorable little goslings will keep the little ones' attention, but the story has enough humor to elicit some chuckles from the adults. It always makes reading the same books over and over much easier if the grown-ups can laugh too :) To be honest I was expecting some rewrites of nursery rhymes, but this ended up better than I had imagined- Good book to add to the collection!
Our boys have been carrying this book all over the house, flipping through it on their own (which is unheard of for the youngest) or asking to cuddle up and read it together. It makes us all laugh out loud as we notice a new detail each time! After it's over, we all have found ourselves saying, "want to read it again??" So thankful for this beautiful gem of a book!
Mother Bruce by Ryan T. Higgins is an incredibly fun book! My kids thought this book was hilarious and literally laughed throughout the whole story. Bruce the bear is an extremely fun character and makes even me laugh out loud as I read to my children. Mother Bruce by Ryan T. Higgins is now one of my children's favorite stories to read before bed. My kids love the little goslings and the illustrations are both fun and adorable. This is a wonderful book for kids and is sure to be a hit with both parents and children. Disclosure: I received product(s) for free, in exchange for my honest review.

Very droll. When gourmet chef Bear Bruce brings some goose eggs home to cook, but they hatch instead, Bruce's life will never be the same. He tries to return the goslings to their mother goose, but she has flown south for the winter.What is Bruce to do with baby goslings? That is what keeps you reading. Children and adults alike will enjoy the sly humor of Mother Bruce who turns into a mother to orphan goslings.The author-illustrator is talented at storytelling and should keep writing children's stories. Children will enjoy seeing how the goslings change Bruce's life. A fun read!
