The Boring Book: (Childrens Book about Boredom, Funny Kids Picture Book, Early Elementary School Story Book)

I tutor a first grader who tells me he is often bored with things. This book helped him to see that it's natural to be bored sometimes and what you can do to not be bored. It's fun to read and the illustrations are very funny. It definitely held his attention and he was not a bit bored.

my son loves this book and loves to say boring in the most dramatic way. this opened a lot of room for conversation on why we get bored and what we can do with boredom. it helped prep him for transitioning from his 1 nap to quiet time instead

Edit: bumping from 4 to 5 stars because there is a little graph on one page showing how over time a person would go through neutral, fun, bored, very bored, very fun, etc. and it turned into a really insightful discussion where I could list scenarios (e.g. dance class, math class, recess) and my kiddo would point to how they felt about them. It’s often hard to get them to share stuff like that and this book helped!Original review:We were hoping this book would cover “necessary boredom” like when you’re sitting in class and the lesson is not interesting to you or you already know it. However it doesn’t really get deep into things. My 6 year old liked it though, I just don’t think it really taught any valuable lesson or gave them any ideas for how to deal with boredom.

It doesn’t take the direction you quite expect, but had lovely illustrations my always “bored” kiddo enjoyed.

My 8 year old LOVES this book! She’s a big reader and usually does chapter books but she got this book in our Amazon Book Box and is obsessed. She’s reading it multiple times a day and asking me to read it to her as well. Highly recommended for the 6-8 age range, probably doesn’t make sense to younger kids which is why some reviews are negative, my almost 4 year old isn’t interested in it yet at all. If you have an inquisitive elementary school age kid though complaining about being bored this is the book for them!

Interesting exploration of "what is boring?" Flow! I love the simple elegance of the drawings. Nice use of color. Enjoy!

This is a perfect book to read to children，The guessing game between the child and the mother was so cute，it does require a little Japanese culture background to be able to guess what the child was trying to make herself into

This book is hilarious, my daughter took it to school on book sharing day. Her teachers even came up to me saying what a cute funny book it is. My daughter said all the kids laughed.

a mis alumnos les encantó trabajar con este libro.

Read this with my 6-year-old son and we giggle all the way through pages.

Good read. Great message

Consegna ottima e senza ritardi né danni. Il libro pensavo meglio, mi sono fatto convincere dalle recensioni, ma non mi sembra così straordinario il tema e il suo svolgimento. Comunque buono dai

A good way to explore what boring is all about and now it is overused. Good for discussions. Rethink your thinking.
