Move over Oscar, there's a new grouch in town! "Mother Bruce" by Ryan T. Higgins is full of grouchy laughs for everyone.
Bruce is a grumpy bear who doesn't like anything--except cooking. One day he decides to make some goose eggs, but as he's out getting more wood for his fire, the eggs hatch. At that point, Bruce becomes "the victim of mistaken identity" as the baby geese think that Bruce is their mother. Bruce does everything he can to get rid of the geese, from slingshots to remote control planes, but nothing seems to work. In the end, Bruce decides that if you can't beat 'em, you might as well join 'em. At the beach, of course! Recommended for Kindergartners to third graders.
