Bruce is a boisterous pup who is looking for fun. But no one wants to play with him. Poor Bruce! His friends explain that he's just too bouncy and rough. Luckily, Bruce thinks of a game they all can play...
"the illustrative style and exuberant use of colour maintain the energy and momentum of the story and its title character up to the satisfying and congenial conclusion... With its lively rhyming text, bouncy pace and solid gouache illustrations, this picture book is made to be read aloud" Magpies "A rhythmic, catchy read-aloud book...full of action and colour, so Bruce and his friends almost leap off the page."
