Ryan Higgins has done it again. Goodnight, Bruce is a winner because it doesn't pretend that bedtime is a magical, peaceful transition—it's a hostage negotiation with geese and mice.
The art is fantastic, the pacing is snappy, and the 'Mother Bruce' brand of reluctant parenting is as relatable as ever. It’s one of those rare books that stays in the 'favorites' pile because it’s genuinely funny for both the person reading and the kid listening. If you’re looking for a bedtime book that isn't cloyingly sweet, this is it.
