Review
Boris the little badger has a list of many things he must do before he goes to sleep at daybreak-so many that he
never gets much sleep at all. At school, his classmates have a nickname for him: "snoring Boris." But when he
learns what he is missing with his class, Boris sets out to rid himself of the worrisome wakies so he can
participate too. He takes control and gets rid of the itches, drinks a glass of water, feeds his hunger, and adjusts
his PJs. Finally, he lies down and has a peaceful, snoreful sleep. Due to this change in his routine, he can now
go to school, stay awake, and partake in all of the activities. The story's humor and images of Boris correcting his
worrisome wakies will make this an effective book to teach a lesson to young children. A good addition to any
school or public library, this story can serve as a suitable read-aloud choice for a picture book collection.
Beginning readers may have trouble with some of the text, but the comical illustrations will have them engaged.
