World Book Day 2021 Book Review - Calm Down Boris by Sam Lloyd
World Book Day 2021.
As many may have noticed I
have not been as active on my blog over the last few months, this partly being
down to home-schooling. Home-schooling seems to have taken over my kitchen table
and our daily lives! So, I thought seeing as the only books I seem to have read
recently have been children’s books and the fact we are celebrating World Book
Day from home (Home schooling a five-year-old who is dressed up and just wants
to play rather than work is quite the challenge.) I thought I would join in and
write a review of one of my daughter’s favourites, and I have to admit one of my favourites to.
Synopsis
Meet Boris - he's a very
loving little monster! Orange, hairy and over-enthusiastic, Boris means well,
but always ends up getting carried away and spoiling things. In "Calm
Down, Boris!", the reader is asked to help Boris brush his hair ready for
his trip to the park - and gets smothered in grateful kisses. The same happens
when we feed him, and when he gets to the park none of the other little
monsters want to play with him because he's so loud and boisterous. But when a
big scary dog jumps over the fence, Boris saves the day by scaring him away
with his big, friendly kisses!
My Review
I always believe reading
with children should be fun and engaging and not made to feel like a chore, if
you read what they enjoy, you get them loving to read and coming back time and
again for more. Calm down Boris certainly ticks all the boxes in our house.
Its fun and engaging and
when ever it is read (which is over and over) it always has my daughter
giggling away and leaves us adults with a smile on our faces. It’s a book that
can be read over and over and you never tire of it because of the reaction it
gets every time.
I have read reviews that
says its not a bedtime book and completely understand why people say this. For
younger children it may make them to excitable but for my five-year-old she often
loves it as a bedtime story and is quite happy to settle down after Boris kisses!
The age range for this book
is listed as baby to five years old but I believe, it will be a firm favourite in
our house for a good few more years yet.
Below is a link to amazon, where I have come across many more books by the author of Calm Down Boris.
