The Bruce Swap. (Mother Bruce #6) Ryan T. Higgins. 2021. [May] 48 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: There was a letter in the mailbox at 13 Go Away Lane. It was a very fine letter.
Premise/plot: The Bruce Swap is a comedic gem. Bruce (aka "Mother Bruce") or oh-so-lovable SUPER, SUPER grumpy bear receives a letter from his cousin, Kevin. Unfortunately, Bruce doesn't get a chance to read the letter--it's eaten by his naughty geese. (They must make a habit of this! It turns up again later in the story). Bruce decides to take the day off and go fishing--he leaves a note behind. (But the note disappears). When Thistle, Rupert, Nibbs wake up (along with the geese???) they discover that their wishes from the night before have come true! GONE GONE GONE is Bruce's grumpiness. Bruce has become a FUN-LOVING, exuberant, cheerful bear. A bear who has a million different ways to have FUN every single moment of the day. Is there such a thing as too much fun???? Will they soon be wishing Bruce to turn back into his old grumpy self????
My thoughts: I had forgotten how much I love, love, love these characters. I haven't reread the whole series. I don't own the series--all have been library finds. I highly recommend these books.
I thought this book was super fun and a great addition to a great series. I wish I still had little ones to read it with.
