Product Description

Product Description

Boris is a very sulky vulture - nothing ever goes quite right for him! When his friends try to take his mind off things and cheer him up, everything goes wrong: the swing he is swinging on breaks, he can't find the zebra in hide and seek, he ends up with a rhino chasing him when he plays catch. Even when mum offers him a hug he's still not happy. Some vultures are never pleased! A riotous vulture story from the acclaimed master of animal characterisation and illustration, Michael Terry.

5.0 out of 5 stars The sulky vulture, 30 Aug 2004
A truely lovely story- one that both adults and children will enjoy.

Boris is quick to become grumpy when things don't go his way- but everyone still loves him despite this.

I have never read this story to a child without them laughing and me laughing.

Wonderful pictures and a simple story line make it a real favourite!

This is a wonderful story that is in my experience enjoyed by adults and children alike.

Boris is quick to become sulky when things don't go his way but everyone still loves him despite this.

Wonderful bright pictures really help to tell the story.

A book never left on the book shelf for long!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Lovely little book for children- perhaps dull for adults
I brought this for my son at his request, as he was in hysterics of laughter at the idea of a vulture that is sulky. Read more
