BORIS THE BOASTFUL FROG

Written by Karen Hodgson Published by Hogsback Books

In a pond at the bottom of a muddy field there lived a frog named Boris. He was big and strong and handsome, but he was also boastful. Boris could do anything. He could jump, swim, and dive better than anyone else or so he said. But one day his boasting got the better of him!"

This was another fun commission to work on…particularly developing the character of Boris. This book was published several years before another character with the same name and with a similar personality started making the newspaper headlines. I am tempted to draw a new version of Boris but this time with a blonde wig…perhaps that is better left to your imagination though…
