The Boring Book by Shinsuke Yoshitake
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 humour.
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 humour, 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.
