178. Thanks for Nothing


Thanks for Nothing. Ryan T. Higgins. 2021. 32 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: The air is crisp, and the leaves are changing. It is fall in Soggy-Hollow and everyone is thankful. Even Bruce. He is making a surprise fall feast for the mice. There is a surprise for Bruce, too.

Premise/plot: Bruce, our ever-grumpy bear, is trying his best to be super-thankful. But. It isn't always easy to be thankful when it seems the whole world [aka his found-family] is against him. His BIG plans for the feast, well, don't go according to his plan. Will anyone end up truly thankful?

My thoughts: I really love, love, love Bruce. I love his found-family. He always stars in the funniest books. The whole series is fabulous. I do think the books build on each other. It doesn't necessarily matter the order, but, the more you read with these characters, I think the better you'll enjoy/appreciate the stories.
