Boris the ranger and his animal friends all live happily in the same park. When it snows really hard one night, the forest animals cannot not sleep because of the cold. They knock on Boris's door, one after the other, for a very nice sleepover. Fortunately, Boris sees the fun of it and does not mind at all!
These small picture books are both favorites of the mini-monsters, here we often read both to them. They are both funny in their own way!
