“Dr. Bruce may well be the next Dr. Seuss! With clever rhyming couplets and engaging illustrations by Mathilde Millot, this story offers a refreshingly constructive role for the superhero: no apocalyptic battles to save the universe, but a witty presentation of the true superheroes of nutrition. Kids will love these characters and learn from their super-wisdom.”
