Boris and the Worrisome Wakies

It’s bedtime, but Boris has the worrisome wakies! No matter how much Papa and Mama badger their little badger, Boris can’t sleep.

“I’m hunnnnngry! I think my PJs are on backwards! My cuddle-bunny is hogging the bed!” He’s too itchy, too thirsty, too everything.

But the wakies at bedtime lead to snoozing—and trouble—at school! Can Boris banish the worrisome wakies for good?

Fans of Helen Lester and Lynn Munsinger's comic creations Tacky the Penguin and Wodney Wat will find much to smile about in this relatable tale.

"Lester’s lively, chucklesome story includes exaggerated statements, onomatopoeia, rhyming chants, and shifting text sizes, which all add to the fun atmosphere. Munsinger brings Lester’s story to life with detailed watercolor scenes filled with warm, fuzzy badgers and an array of hilarious facial expressions. Kiddos with bedtime battles might find some solidarity with  Boris."  –Booklist
