Bruce's Big Storm (Mother Bruce #5) by Ryan T. Higgins (Children's Picture Book Review)


Bruce's Big Storm
(Mother Bruce #5)
by Ryan T. Higgins
Published by Disney - Hyperion
on September 3, 2019
Genre: Children's, Picture Books
Length: 40 pages
Ages: 3 - 5 years


Synopsis:
Bruce's home is already a full house.

But when a big storm brings all his woodland neighbors knocking, he'll have to open his door to a crowd of animals in need of shelter - whether he likes it or not.


Our Thoughts:

We return to Soggy Hollow and its' woodland inhabitants in this whirlwind story about our favorite grumpy bear, Bruce!

Bruce is a bear that does not like neighbors. Unfortunately for him, he has many of them, including a trio of mice that haven't quite learned about boundaries.

When a big storm hits his corner of the forest, everyone ends up waiting it out at Bruce's house!
Of course, Bruce isn't too thrilled about any of it!

This is the fifth book in the Mother Bruce series, (sixth if you're counting the companion picture book, Be Quiet!) and we already want more! We've come to love Bruce and his 'friends', from Bruce's original case of mistaken identity where he became a mother to geese, to his run-in with the hilariously vocal local mice, to a neighborhood full of needy (and helpful) neighbors!


These books are humorous with good lessons and fantastic illustrations. I really enjoy Higgins' style! 
We're looking forward to seeing more of Bruce getting annoyed by the local wildlife in the future!
