Book of the Week

Calm Down Boris’ by Sam Lloyd

This is a funny book that will make your child giggle, as it features a lovable monster called Boris who is a furry orange hand puppet that pops out of the book. This interactive book allows you to put your hand inside Boris to move his mouth and wiggle his jaw around to make funny kissing faces.

The story by Sam Lloyd takes you through a day in the life of Boris, a misunderstood monster that just loves to show his affection!

We start the day by helping Boris get ready for the park, by grooming him and checking his fur for bugs, which he loves so much that he thanks you with lots of kisses, to which you reply “Calm down Boris! It tickles.” After scooting to the park, Boris is hungry so the reader helps to feed him some of his picnic, which he enjoys so much that he nibbles your fingers. “Sorry” says Boris while smothering you with kisses, to which you reply; “Calm down Boris! Your kisses are too tickly!”

Boris wants to play with the other monsters at the park but he is so big and loud that the other monsters don’t want to play with him. Until a big scary dog jumps over the fence and makes the monsters run away and hide. But Boris likes the dog and try’s to kiss him all over which scares the dog away. The other monsters are so pleased that they all want to kiss Boris, no matter how tickly he is, “Kissy, kissy, well done Boris!”

A cute book that you can have lots of silly fun with, especially when you child needs some extra cheering up because “sometimes being big, kissy and tickly is exactly what’s needed!”
