Bookroo's summary
Bruce, a notorious bear bully, always targets those smaller than him. But when he crosses paths with a diminutive yet formidable witch, his world turns upside down. As Bruce faces unexpected challenges, will he learn the true meaning of strength and humility? Discover a whimsical tale where size isn't everything, and magic can change even the biggest of bullies.
From the publisher
Bruce, a bear bully, never picks on anyone his own size until he is diminished in more ways than one by a small but very independent witch. “Another animal fantasy that children will enjoy again and again.” – Booklist
