Reach for this book when your child is receiving feedback from school about being too loud, too fast, or struggling with personal space. It is a gentle tool for kids who possess big energy and good intentions but find the structured environment of a classroom challenging to navigate. Boris is a lovable, high-octane monster who wants to be helpful but often ends up causing accidental chaos because he simply cannot find his slow button. Through his adventures, the story explores themes of self-regulation and patience without making the child feel like the villain of their own story. It is an ideal bridge for children ages 5 to 8 who are transitioning into the demands of primary school and learning how to balance their natural enthusiasm with the needs of those around them.
