The Boring Book

The Boring Book is a humorous picture book that follows the story of one particularly bored boy.

As the story progresses, our protagonist discovers there's actually more to boredom than what meets the eye-more questions, more theories, and heaps of humor.

This exploration of boredom from acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake playfully-and hilariously-unpacks the ways in which a seemingly stagnant state is actually a portal into a dynamic, life-enriching experience.

* Embraces the topic of boredom - an ever-so-popular kid complaint - and runs with it
* The unique comic format, fast pace, smart humor, and narrative approach makes it ideal for reluctant readers
* A universally hilarious book that will amuse children ages 5 to 8, as well as adults

In addition to banishing boredom, Yoshitake's distinctive illustrations promote visual literacy and show young readers what the process of creative thinking looks like.

* This smart, laugh-out-loud picture book just might change your child's perspective on the state of boredom forever.
* A wonderful gift for parents, teachers, educators, librarians, caregivers, and anyone who has to answer to the statement "I'm bored!"
* Perfect for readers of early chapter books
