Let's face it: any book that contains a glove puppet, known for his excitability and ability to bite your face off (nicely, of course!) is going to be a winner! My 3 year-old Godson loves all the Boris books and was so pleased with this at Christmas. The books are robust enough to cope with Boris's face-biting impulses and the vocabulary is simple and easy for the children to follow. It's a great, fun book that should be added to the gift list of any Aunt/Uncle/Grandparent or anyone else who has the option of bestowing gifts and then running away as carnage ensues.
