Part of the Little Bruce series
A bunny shares spring's stinky scents with a grumpy bear.
Ruth the rabbit is thrilled to introduce Bruce the bear to the scents of spring. But as Ruth's excitement meets Bruce's grumpiness, they both discover that spring might not smell as sweet as expected. Will Bruce's mood change, or will the stinky adventure lead to unexpected surprises? Dive into this humorous tale of contrasting personalities and the quirky smells of the season.
This pint-sized LITTLE BRUCE BOOK is perfect for fans of the Mother Bruce board books. Ruth the bunny is excited to share the smelly springtime smells of spring with Bruce! But what will Bruce think of all that stink? Higgins’ sparse text is humorously juxtaposed with his signature, detail-packed, engaging illustrations. The mouse-sized treehouse and the despondent, dripping moose are especially delightful. Bruce’s unibrow is practically a protagonist in and of itself. Ruth’s exuberance plays off Bruce’s disgruntledness like a sweet pear off gorgonzola. —Kirkus Reviews
