Mother Bruce

Booktalk!

Meet Bruce. Bruce is a grumpy bear who craves eggs. One spring

morning, before he has a chance to stoke the fire beneath his latest find of four large goose eggs, he is greeted with cries of “MAMA!” No matter what he does, even roar his most ferocious roar, the four goslings will not leave him alone; they stick to him like ticks.

Pirates will think you are weird if you wash your face or hair! But they always

show respect and never point or stare. Pirates love swordplay of all sorts, but they always say “good fight” because they are good sports. Pirates respect your privacy.

Hopefully, pirates have also learned to share when they find buried treasure!

Pirates are unruly and Pirates love to fight, but Pirates still say “please” and “thanks” ’cause Pirates are polite.

Pirates may duel and plunder booty. But when they do so, they are polite!

The fun, rhyming text shows pirates’ rowdy activities and teaches manners. If Pirates can be polite, surely young readers can, too!
