leighs polka dot theatre event

lovely mention of colins american alter-ego BORIS on Izze's book blog

Rating: 4 kitty purrs.



I find a bird on every page! (This is only partially true, there are a lot of birds).
Boris is a cat, he "leepy" (sleepy)
He in a box.
"We not want this cat!"
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!
Boris be sad.
Mr. Marshmallow eat only fish!
We ever not have a cat, he would eat "Oviler" (Oliver is Izze's fish).
Then he find a lady!
She sooo happy!



Izze loves the art, the collage style.

Vegan note: Mr. Marshmallow eats fish from The South Pole. Boris wishes he had fish, because he was hungry.

I think Izzes description of the story is the bees knees.

SO pleased you like my book Izze...
Boris is very happy that he has found a friend like you!
