Reviews

This book is really good and my younger sister loves it. It is a hand puppet book so you can make ' Boris' do different things - if you're not a big fan of reading bigger books like my sister then you should definitely try this!

I read Calm Down, Boris and it was brilliant. It is very good entertainment and I enjoyed picking the bugs out of his fur. I recommend this to all ages under 11 years of age because I am 11 and I really enjoyed it. This book is also comical and i can truly say it was awesome. This book has really opened my eyes to puppets.

Next time can you please make it a bit longer? First I thought I will be a boring story and when I got home I gave it to my sister and she said read it to me and I said “NO’’ but I said ok then I read it to her, I like it but it's not “FAB’’ but it was a little bit too short and if it was a little bit longer then we will enjoy it a little bit more

My name is Annam Hussain and i read the book called calm down, Boris. i thought that it was funny and it was fun book to play with.


This book was a about a fictional monster called Boris. Boris was a bright orange monster who loved to give kissings, I really enjoyed how this character acted and how it was described in this book. It was described as a fun loving monster who just wanted to play but people thought that he was too big and scary so they didn’t even attempt to have a go playing with him. I think that the author sent out a message that monsters were not only scary.


The illustrator drew pictures for the right audience he used bright colours so that children would find the book more interesting, if the illustrator made the pictures black and white i don’t think many people would of been interested in it. Over all i really enjoyed this book and i thought it was a really meaningful book. I would read this book again and thank you for giving me the opportunity.
