This book is just as good as the others in the Mother Bruce series. The same silly and overly-friendly nice, the same grumpy (yet oddly caring bear, and the same little jokes that the adults will find amusing. I can already tell this will be one of our favorite Christmas books, and one of the few that will make the “year around” cut.
If you have the other books in the series, get this one. If you don’t have them, what are you waiting for? Get ‘em all! You and your kids will love them.
