Cute but doesn’t rhyme and will drive you insane over time or rereading。 That being said my toddler LOVES it。
Mrs。 M,
This Bruce book is a cute, quick read that would encourage children to play along with the geese as they “peek” Bruce。
Chris Hays,
Short easy and will last for about a week with Luka。
Marcela,
I genuinely don't understand the appeal of this book。 Someone says they want to be left alone, so you spend the day bothering them nonstop? This is。。。 not a great message about respecting personal boundaries。 I genuinely don't understand the appeal of this book。 Someone says they want to be left alone, so you spend the day bothering them nonstop?

Chrisanne,
Soooooooo something accidentally happened just barely that has completely tainted my opinion。 I will return to this when I have forgotten。

Ducklings think that Bruce is playing hide and seek, but he's really just trying to find some peace and quiet。 Ducklings think that Bruce is playing hide and seek, but he's really just trying to find some peace and quiet。 。。。more

Rowan was a little slow to dig this one。 But after a few reads, he warmed to it and now has a very good time finding Bruce。

Too short and simple

Not as fun as some of the other Mother Bruce books, but if you like the series, you'll probably enjoy it! Not as fun as some of the other Mother Bruce books, but if you like the series, you'll probably enjoy it! 。。。more

Beth,
A very sub-texty book about a weary bear trying (and failing) to get a break from the four perky ducklings。 I hope the parents reading this aren't sobbing through their smiles。 And it would be fun to read with a mixed age group where some kids get the subtext of the bear's desperation and some are along with the ducklings。 A very sub-texty book about a weary bear trying (and failing) to get a break from the four perky ducklings。 I hope the parents reading this aren't sobbing through their smiles。 And it would be fun to read with a mixed age group where some kids get the subtext of the bear's desperation and some are along with the ducklings。 。。。more
Richelle Starke,
Leopold (9 months old) finds this book hilarious。 It’s also a good length for his attention span。
Trish,
I love this series! This is a fun riff on peek-a-boo books。 Poor Bruce just wants some peace and quiet, but the goslings insist on turning it into a hide-and-seek game。 Many parents can sympathize, I am sure。
Elizabeth,
This is pretty much exactly how I imagine parenthood。

Shandra,
Adorable! Poor Bruce just wants some alone time, but the goslings want to play with him! Would be great in a tiny tot or toddler storytime。

For: Bruce fans; readers looking for an interactive book。Possible red flags: lack of boundaries/ignoring social cues。

A cute hide and seek board book featuring our favorite grumpy bear and his ducklings。
Jesse,
A fun game of peekaboo (or is it) involving the reader in the fun!
Michelle Halber,
This is a good choral book for baby storytime。 Bruce tries (unsuccessfully) to hide from his friends。
Kate Reads,
LOL, didn't realize this was a board book when I requested it from the library, but it doesn't really matter。 Super cute。 LOL, didn't realize this was a board book when I requested it from the library, but it doesn't really matter。 Super cute。 。。。more

Erica Hopper,
A cute quick read that is a nice transition for a little one who knows peekaboo but hasn’t quite grasped the love of books yet。
BookDrunkard,
Board Book2019This book just seems like it would be fun to read aloud。 We are introduced to Bruce - a character that grows with the child into picture books and into the early readers stage。 In it, we find 4 little goslings that want to play with Bruce。 But Bruce does not want to play。 He wants to walk by himself - but the goslings fall in line behind him。 He tries to hide from them, but he is too big and sticks out from most of his hiding spots。 At each hiding attempt it's easy to imagine how t Board Book2019This book just seems like it would be fun to read aloud。 We are introduced to Bruce - a character that grows with the child into picture books and into the early readers stage。 In it, we find 4 little goslings that want to play with Bruce。 But Bruce does not want to play。 He wants to walk by himself - but the goslings fall in line behind him。 He tries to hide from them, but he is too big and sticks out from most of his hiding spots。 At each hiding attempt it's easy to imagine how the book would sound read aloud。 With each word drawn out just a little bit, acting as though you're searching for Bruce。 The little geese find Bruce at every turn, he can't hide from them。 In the end, Bruce and the ducklings are worn out for different reasons and all fall asleep together。 。。。more
Kaitlyn,
Adorable little hide and seek book where the kids can point out Bruce。
Alex Gates,
Fun Read aloud。 Was perfect for Storytime。

BreAnna Hutchinson,
This is one that my toddler immediately put on the read-on-repeat list and I don't mind at all。 It's funny。 There are layers that both of us can appreciate。 This is one that my toddler immediately put on the read-on-repeat list and I don't mind at all。 It's funny。 There are layers that both of us can appreciate。 。。。more
