Review: Calm Down, Boris!

Calm Down Boris

Calm Down, Boris!
by Sam Lloyd

Publication date: 2007
Publisher: KenFin Books
ISBN: 978-1-921318-40-5

Summary/Back cover:
Boris just wants to be loved. The thing is, he's too... BIG and... kissy and tickly! But sometimes, being big and kissy and tickly is exactly what's needed!

Review:
This is such a well-loved book in this house, due to the hasnd-puppet that's attached to the middle of the book. The story itself is only so-so from an adult perspective, but kids love it, due to the "kissy kissy kissy" line that recurs throughout the book, and means the kids get tickled by the puppet.

This is a solid board book, and the puppet is well made - our copy of the book is looking pretty beaten up now, but still holding together well!

My rating: 4 out of 5 - a great book, but gets the kids a bit too excited to read it as a bedtime story!
