Bruce Saves the Planet by Ryan T Higgins

Bruce the bear just wants to be left alone—but peace and quiet are hard to come by when you’re an unwitting parent to four geese and three mice. In this delightful addition to the New York Times bestselling Mother Bruce series, our favorite grumpy bear finds himself swept up in something much bigger than a day of fishing: saving the planet.

When Bruce escapes to his favorite fishing spot, he discovers his quiet haven under siege—beetles are stealing his lunch, and protestors are rallying to save Soggy Hollow from a looming factory. What’s a solitary bear to do? Well, become an accidental environmental hero, of course.

Ryan T. Higgins brings his signature humor and heart to this timely tale about community, conservation, and the unexpected ways we can all make a difference. Young readers will laugh at Bruce’s reluctant heroism while absorbing an important message about caring for our planet. The story feels as fresh as the Maine sea air, with Higgins’s charming illustrations bringing every moment to life.

Part of the Disney Planet Possible Books program, this story does more than entertain—it inspires. Each book includes kid-friendly environmental activities that turn awareness into action, showing young readers that they too can be planet protectors (even if they’re not quite as grumpy about it as Bruce).

Perfect for fans of the Mother Bruce series, animal lovers, and budding environmentalists ages 4-8. Proudly manufactured with care in the United States.
