Poor Bruce, his friends are at it again

Bruce and the Legend of Soggy Hollow (Mother Bruce) by Ryan T. Higgins

July 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr15bingo Hold Steady: Bruce is stuck with people who do not listen to him and make him do things he does not want to.  I am not usually a Bruce the Bear (or Mother Bruce) fan. I have enjoyed the one or two Penelope Rex books I have read, but did not like Norman. Yet, when I read Bruce and the Legend of Soggy Hollow (Mother Bruce) I did not hate it. I am still not a huge fan of forcing Bruce to do things […]

Bruce One Grumpy ol’ Bear

Bruce’s Big Storm by Ryan T. Higgins

September 4, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am not a Bruce book fan, for the most part. I appreciate the work that goes into making a book; I appreciate the illustrations and I understand why many people enjoy them. They tend not to be for me. However, this newest book in the Bruce series is amusing. Bruce’s Big Storm has two parts for me. On one hand, I still wish the neighbors (and his roommates) would let him be. Let him be the grumpy bear he likes being. But on the […]

Wilfred just wants a friend

Wilfred by Ryan T. Higgins

August 16, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Wilfred is a cute little story about friendship and what it means. This was not an OMG! THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER book; but as also not the worse book ever. There is much to like and dislike. This story that Ryan T. Higgins created is a mile may vary book. Wilfred is not the best-looking creature, but not necessarily not cute. The story has overtures to Rudolph’s Bumble. Bumble wanted a job, and Wilfred just wants a friend. What comes out of it […]

I saw Santa be a Grumpy Bear?

December 19, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While there are some funny moments in Santa Bruce (one little girls Christmas gift wish is very amusing but makes me a little more a little bit scared! And I am nervous especially of her enthusiasm at the end when she gets something slightly different than what was asked for). But if I was Bruce? I would eat my “family.” If you know the Bruce books by Ryan T. Higgins you know this book. It just has a Christmas theme attached to it. When Bruce […]

If We Don’t Eat Our Classmates, what is a poor Dino to Do?

July 27, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

We Don’t Eat Our Classmates Penelope is told in Ryan T. Higgins latest book. But that is a very hard thing to not do, as she is a dinosaur and her classmates are all children. And children are ever so tasty! Higgins creates a new first day of school story with an absurd twist. As we are informed at the start (oddly enough by Penelope) dinosaurs are extinct and we will not get eaten by one, so we do not have to worry about that. […]

Grumpy Love

November 27, 2017 by Halbs Leave a Comment

There are three main things to consider when evaluating a children’s book. First, is it teaching your child the right kind of lesson. Second, how is the art? Third, will you get sick of this book after reading it ten times per day for weeks or months? Bestseller Mother Bruce meets all three criteria for a great children’s book. That’s probably why it’s an NYT bestseller and has a five-star rating on Amazon.  As the title and cover give away, Bruce the bear is not happy […]
