Boris is such a lovable monster—but he gets so carried away! In this interactive new series by award-winning creator Sam Lloyd, kids will delight in the book and hand puppet format that can be used to act out the story. Before Boris can go to the park to play, kids will brush his hair (don't forget to check for bugs!) and feed him some delicious picnic treats (be careful he doesn't nibble your fingers!). But Boris has scared off all the other little monsters with his enthusiasm and tickly kisses. How will he ever make friends? His big moment comes when a mean dog jumps a fence—and Boris saves the day!

Worth it

My son's daycare told us about the book; it was gifted and all the kids loved it! We bought it and my son wants to read it every day/night before bed and nap time. It's a really cute book!

It's hard not to love all the Sam Lloyd Pop-Ups! Super fun, hands on interactive for the little ones. Like, check Boris's fur for bugs... Now brush his hair... Feed Boris his picnic... Giving you the perfect opportunity to get those little hands. LoL

It's sad that on the UK Amazon you can buy most all of these books new and at the reg price. I guess it's because the author lives in England? Whatever the reason, totally a fun book that'll bring some BIG Smiles to your little one.

This was a gift for a friend's 3 year old granddaughter. She loves it. She liked to play 'monsters', so i thought she'd like this. It fit the 'monster' bill but didn't seem to be too scary. She loves it as well as Not so Scary, Sid. Both have the pop-up rubber puppet that is attached to the book and she loves to have the book read to her, as well as opperating the puppet herself. Boris has a prime spot in her doll carriage, i'm told, riding around with other small treasures.

Very fun for kids and teach lessons

We love these books. Have purchased every one in the series for my kiddos. We have so much fun with them. Of course they’re read multiple times per sitting. There is also a lot to learn from the behavior of these monsters. Opens up discussions and later we refer back to the books (Don’t be like ___!).

This book is great!!! My son loves having this book read to him. It is very fun to watch him interact with the puppet. I was pleasantly surprised at the large size of the mouth. I can easily fit my entire hand into the puppet to make a variety of faces and movements, much to my sons delight. I am now ordering more books in this series!!! I would definitely give this book as a gift to an expecting friend or a young child. You must get this book, it will not disappoint!!!

It's cute, but not what I anticipated

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is about a monster that is just a little too eager. I thought it would be more about anger management or overall emotions management. It's still cute and a fun read, but not as much about emotions as I thought. It also doesn't discuss coping mechanisms for strong emotions much.

Great children's book, very engaging.

It is too bad this book is no longer in print as it is a great kids book but luckily there are some great used versions available. this is a great kids books that does a great job of keeping young children engaged as the book calls on them to help Boris over the course of the story.

Great Book to Grow with

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 21, 2017

Such a great book! I bought this for my son who is 7 months old. Although he's still a bit young for it he loves it nonetheless. The concept of the built in puppet is just awesome. He reaches for this book first every time its story time. Boris will be a long time favourite, I'm sure of it.

Fabulous memories with this book. So much fun.

Had this book with my daughter who is now 14, and she made me read it every night for about five years. She has it in her keepsakes as it holds such good memories. Now bought for my niece, who loves it just as much. Definitely worth buying.

Fun, loved, shame about the 'scary' dog!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

Our 6 month old baby loves this book, and will do so increasingly as she becomes more aware and can take part more (brushing hair etc)... Agree with some reviews that the scary dog is off-putting. I read it as 'Fluffy dog' and will continue to do so until she can read, at which point I will discontinue using, which is a shame but I don't want to risk putting my daughter off dogs!
