Books by the author SAM LLOYD
Calm Down Boris
Sam Lloyd
Boris is a very affectionate monster. He likes nothing better than showering everyone with kisses and, though endearing, it can also be very ticklish. 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 is so loud and boisterous.
Characters: Boris
Hello Dudley
Sam Lloyd

Vincent the Vain
Sam Lloyd
'Well, hello and welcome, I'm Vincent, that's me. The most gorgeous gorilla you'll ever see. All of me's fabulous, but the bit I love best ...is my gloriously hairy, furry chest!' When Vincent's celebrated chest hair starts to dwindle and fall out, his verve for life takes an unexpected sky dive, too. But his friends soon find a way to put the cheer back into Vincent's world view and the way he sees himself.
Characters: Vincent
You're Not so Scary Sid
Sam Lloyd
Following in the hugely successful hoofprints of Boris and Dudley, Sid is a monster who fancies himself as a big scary finger-nibbler. Readers are advised to sit on their hands while Sid is on the rampage, but then it's suggested that perhaps Sid isn't as scary as he'd like to think? Readers are encouraged to roar loudly back at Sid, who is reduced to a quivering wreck by the turn-around, quakes with terror and runs home crying, where he gets his favourite tea - FISH fingers! Lots of opportunities for interaction with the reader and child who is being read to, with questions and suggestions made in the text.
Characters: Sid
