The Boring Book
by Shinsuke Yoshitake
Kids' Book of the Week , January 27, 2020
Yoshitake's Still Stuck, the story of a boy who can't get his shirt off, is one of our very favorite picture books, and in his latest, a child is confronted by an even more common, and more challenging, difficulty: being bored. Turns out being bored can lead you to wonder: what does "boring" really mean? What things are fun and what are boring? Can fun things become boring? Can boring things become fun, once you aren't doing them any more? The Boring Book includes a little everyday philosophy, a handful of coping mechanisms, and whole lot of oddball humor. Not boring at all! (Ages 2 to 5)
