New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Ryan T. Higgins presents the next book in the MOTHER BRUCE series, perfect for bedtime, classrooms, readalouds, and any time you'd like a good laugh.


Bruce is a lot of things. He is a bear. He is a grump. He is a pretty decent cook. And he is a mother.

One thing Bruce is not?

Santa Claus.

But that doesn’t stop the whole forest from lining up to give him their Christmas wishes when he becomes the victim of mistaken identity―again.

Kids will howl with laughter as award-winning author-illustrator Ryan T. Higgins delivers another hilarious story about this bear who just can't catch a break.
