Santa Bruce (A Mother Bruce book)

In this humorous addition to the Mother Bruce series, Bruce the bear, known for his curmudgeonly ways, is determined to hibernate through Christmas. However, his persistent forest friends convince him to stay awake. Dressed in his long underwear and a warm hat, Bruce is then hilariously mistaken for Santa Claus by the youngest forest animals. This picture book explores themes of unexpected kindness, the spirit of giving, and how even the grumpiest among us can find a little holiday joy, all wrapped in Ryan T. Higgins' signature wit and charming illustrations. Perfect for ages 4-8, it's a delightful read-aloud that will bring smiles to both children and adults.
