Oh Bruce! What have you gotten yourself into now?! Books have always been a great way to get our family together and thanks to Disney-Hyperion, we have been enjoying Ryan T. Higgins’ latest bear adventure, Bruce’s Big Move. Disney Hyperion sent me a copy to check out, and is partnering with me for a giveaway below!
We first met Bruce a couple years ago when he became a mom in Mother Bruce and his adventures have only gotten more fun! Bruce’s Big Move also came at a great time for our family because we just found out we are moving again! Yes, so Bruce is helping the kids wrap their heads around our upcoming move to Lousiana.
Bruce’s Big Move is a beautifully written and illustrated book that is recommended for ages 3 – 5, but is sure to entertain all ages. I hope you get a chance to read it! I’ve noticed that we’ve seen Bruce’s adventures at book fairs, so if your child has a book fair this school year make sure to grab it!
About Bruce’s Big Move
After the events of Hotel Bruce, our favorite curmudgeonly bear shares his home with not only his four geese, but three rowdy mice besides! Fed up with their shenanigans, Bruce sets off to find a rodent-free household. But as usual, nothing goes quite according to plan…
A hilarious sequel for fans of the previous Bruce books, as well as a standalone discovery for new readers, Bruce’s next reluctant adventure is sure to keep kids giggling.

Last book was ‘The Boxcar Children.’ We’d seen the movie on Netflix and I was surprised she was as into the book as she was at three years old — I’d have thought it was too old for her. Favorite book? Anything from the terrible ‘Rainbow Fairy’ series. I loathe reading those books aloud — I swear they just wrote one and then used search-and-replace on the Word file to change the character names for the next hundred volumes. They’re the most formulaic things I’ve ever seen and the number is endless!
