I freaking love this book. Actually, so does Scott. He found it hilarious and for Christmas bought me the entire Bruce series. (Forget that we don't have kids yet. Forget that I was 29 when he did that). Honestly, this is a favorite of mine.

It's about Bruce, a very grumpy bear. One day while making a fancy meal (this bear googles recipes, y'all), he becomes a victim of mistaken identity. His meal hatched and goslings think Bruce is a she and she is their mother. As you might imagine, Bruce is pissed and looks for any and all ways to get rid of them.

The first time I read the book and got to the end, I spit out my water. It's so hilarious. Adults will definitely appreciate the humor as well as their children/readers. ( )

Bruce was not happy with the chicks and they began to follow him everywhere. Bruce the accepted it and began to be fond of the geese.This is a silly and fun book to show students about a grumpy bear that ends up taking care of cute baby chicks. ( )

Grumpy bear faces abound, and stupid-looking geese -- excellent and silly. ( )

This book is funny and loaded with adventure for Bruce and his chicks. Bruce goes out to get some things for making food for himself but then ends up with some goose eggs. When he goes to cook the eggs have goslings in them. He is not happy to see this and tries returning the goslings but realizes that their mother is gone. The goslings follow him as if he was their mother. We follow Bruce and his adventure with the goslings. ( )
