Grouchy Bruce pitted against sunny Ruth. Bruce's curmudgeonly attitude works best when something sneaks past his shell to his soft center. That doesn't happen in this. Bruce stays grumpy and Ruth stays sunny. Illustrations are cute, though.

I know. Bruce is adorable. But this felt a little forced. Try the first books in the series, if you haven't read them yet. But you don't have to read this one.

Fun beginning reader. I'm a true fan of all things Bruce.

Another installment in the Mother Bruce series. This time Ruth the bunny is excited about Spring and wants Bruce to be just as happy, but in typical Bruce fashion he is grumpy and thinks Spring stinks. Not my favorite of the series, but the humor is still fully present.

This was cute. It's not as detailed as the other Mother Bruce books but It is definitely one I would share with younger students who are familiar with the books and practicing early literacy skills.

Short, small, and silly Bruce book that highlights the smells of Spring. During storytime, I invited the listeners to be grumpy with Bruce and repeat his lines.
