Four very silly “I Can Read Books”
in paperback from HarperCollins,
1995 & 1997 & 2000
Once there were four good friends.
There names were Boris, Morris,
Doris and Norris.
People called them Know-Nothings.
They didn’t know much,
but they knew they liked each other.
... and that was all they needed to know.
If you wanted French fries, where would you go?
To France, of course!
At least that’s what the Know-Nothings think.
Boris, Morris, Doris and Norris also have some interesting thoughts on how to dress when you go to France, if you want to fit in better.
Boris’s birthday is coming up, but it looks like his friends don’t remember.
Will Boris spend his birthday alone?
Or are Doris, Norris and Morris secretly planning a party
he will never forget?
Boris, Morris, Doris and Norris (and Floris) want to
celebrate Halloween. They want to trick-or-treat and
bob for apples, but they don’t know anyone named Bob
and they don’t know any tricks.
The Know-Nothings have read that the way to celebrate
Thanksgiving is to serve a turkey dinner. But, how can
Boris, Morris, Doris and Norris (and Floris) serve the
turkey his dinner if the bird won’t even sit down?
