1 Grumpy Bruce is a children's board book that was released earlier this fall. The story by Ryan T. Higgins puts his bear character Bruce in a situation with a growing number of houseguests. Read and count along with your child as you're introduced to the different animals that show up unexpectedly.
About the Book:
1 grumpy bear
My youngest and I have been reading this one quite a bit lately. He's in preschool and still working on learning his numbers. He loves to count though so it's fun for him to count the different animals on each page. It's fun to read what each one is doing. It seems like all the animals are having fun, except for one particular bear of course. I think the parent in me can relate to Bruce!
2 uninvited skunks
3 mice throwing a party
. . . and it only gets worse from there.
Long-suffering Bruce once again contends with an increasingly crowded household, this time in an original board book where young ones can count the never-ending party guests. Full of fun characters and humor, 1 Grumpy Bruce is just right for our littlest readers.
The illustrations are also done by Ryan and are a lot fun. They include a variety of animals including some unexpected ones to be visiting Bruce. Bruce's facial expressions in each scene make me smile.
This book is recommended for kids ages 2 to 5. I think that is a great book for your little ones that like animals and/or are learning their numbers and learning to count.
