Mother Bruce-Mother Bruce, Book 1 (Mother Bruce Series #1) (Hardcover)

Description

---

Bruce is a bear who likes living alone and making fancy gourmet recipes he finds on the internet. But when the goose eggs he's cooking for breakfast hatch, Bruce becomes something new: a mother. 

The first book in the New York Times bestselling MOTHER BRUCE series, perfect for bedtime, classrooms, readalouds, and any time you'd like a good laugh.

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?
