Hey, Bruce! An Interactive Book by Ryan T. Higgins

Dear Reader, 

Do you remember when Rupert wanted to make a wordless book? You do? Well, if you recall, Bruce of Mother Bruce fame only made a brief cameo in Be Quiet! Rupert and his chatty pals Thistle and Nibbs are back and making another book. This one's going to be interactive and if the title is any indication, Bruce will be the star of the book. Get ready to laugh. 

Sincerely, 

Bridget (Librarian and Reviewer at What Is Bridget Reading?)

Thoughts: Hey, Bruce! is the epitome of an interactive book. The best part? You get to make grouchy, grumpy old Bruce do things he would never do. The mice are their usual outrageous selves. I can't wait to use this book in storytime. Interactive books are always fun, but an interactive book about Bruce will be an instant hit. The illustrations are colorful and detailed. I like the mixture of types of illustrations and the use of white space. The expressions on the characters' faces are especially well done. My favorite is Bruce in the pajamas the mice force on him.

Ballet Bruce by Ryan T. Higgins

World of Reading Level 1

Bruce will apparently do anything for his geese especially make multiple trips to town to get all the paraphernalia they need to do ballet. 

Thoughts: Too funny! I love the sad geese eyes and how much grumpy old Bruce loves his geese. The story reminded me of Let's Go for a Drive! by Mo Willems. I love forward to having another Bruce book to add to my repertoire.
