Bruce the bear likes to keep to himself. That, and eat eggs. But when his hard-boiled goose eggs turn out to be real, live goslings, he starts to lose his appetite. And even worse, the goslings are convinced he's their mother. Bruce tries to get the geese to go south, but he can't seem to rid himself of his new companions. What's a bear to do?
MY THOUGHTS:
I am in love with this book! It is both heart warming and adorable, silly and goofy, serious and sweet! It has everything that both adults and kids will love!! I found that Mother Bruce was such an original and wonderful story about unlikely love between a grumpy and hungry bear and some adoring sweet goslings! I cannot wait to share this book in all my classes and tell everyone I know about this FANTASTIC book! It is perfect for Thanksgiving! It may become our newest tradition to read this book on Thanksgiving and discuss the crazy thing called LOVE!! P.S. the illustrations are so beautiful and detailed. They take the reader into the the story and capture the emotions of the characters so perfectly! So cute! I cannot take all that cuteness!
5 HUGE stars!!!!

MY THOUGHTS:
My kids and I were laughing so hard when we read this book! What kid, especially boys, don't love a funny book with zombies in it...Zombies that eat books none the less! It is so fun to read because of the cadence of the story...with the rhyming text and sing song way to reads! In addition to that the pictures are hilarious and the Zombie is adorable! Adorable I say!!! The Zombie is also so endearing...after he discovers that books contain facts all he wants to do is be read to! Instead of filling his belly with books he fills his mind with the knowledge contained inside the books! What a great lesson for kids! With a silly and engaging story with colorful and vibrant pictures leads to a 5 star read! Brilliant book!
