Puppet Books

When Calm Down Boris won Richard and Judy's Best Book for Children in 2006, we were all thrilled, but none of us surprised. Boris was a revolution and we have always been immensely proud to produce these wonderful books for Templar.

Boris now has friends, each of them wonderful, colourful and bursting with personality.  The puppets are attached at the back cover in such a way that they can be twisted and turned. Watching kids play with these books, or indeed watching the parents sharing these books and acting out the story with their children, is all you need to see the real added value the puppet brings.

Templar are now launching a smaller format featuring Norman and Ernie. We are already in love all over again.... 

New kids on the block - Norman and Ernie
