(2) PS Little Bruce series. Poor Bruce. The mice of Soggy Hollow keep surprising the grumpy unibrowed bear (from Mother Bruce, etc.) by ruining different parts of the surprise autumn feast he was cooking for them. His stew becomes their foot bath, the peas are used for "pea-pong," the gravy slide...well, it's a mess. And, oh yeah, let's not forget that they invite a wet moose for dinner! When Bruce unsurprisingly has nothing to serve, laughing listeners may join in to shout the titular phrase. Higgins's comedic timing is spot-on in the pithy text and the textured illustrations, which include a pumpkin stuck on one mouse's head and a can of Ocean Spray look-alike "Sea Sneeze Cranberry Sauce." Here's something to be thankful for this ­Thanksgiving: more Bruce!
