A perfect holiday story for fans of the Bruce series!
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2019
Once again, Bruce is mistaken to be someone he isn't --this time as Santa-- in this hilarious addition to the Bruce series!Bruce doesn't like Winter, or Christmas, or celebrating, but somehow he gets roped into the holiday and all its excess against his will. Once he is mistaken as Santa, the annoying mice that share his stories determinedly set out to make 'Santa Bruce' a reality. In typical fashion, Bruce grumbles and groans through it all but in the end, everyone is filled with joy, cheer, and all that other festive stuff.This is a perfect holiday read for little readers with a bit of an 'A Christmas Carol' vibe with Bruce being a 'Bah humbug' Scrooge that doesn't care for Christmas but ends up bringing happiness to the entire forest.We read Mother Bruce for the first time a couple of years ago and have enjoyed every sequel since then, as well as the cast of characters within them. The mice especially like to stir things up! These books are always a lot of fun to read out loud and Bruce's grumpy antics are comical for both children and adults!We also really love the illustrations! Higgins always does an amazing job with these books and makes Bruce's setting one that we want to crawl into! We especially love the detail of the forest, leaves, and all the cute forest critters!
