Japanese author/illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake delivers a delightful journey through boredom, one that seems almost like a direct flow of consciousness from bored (but highly imaginative) little mind. The artwork is simple yet highly expressive, full of primary colors and simple lines but also lots of little whimsical details. The story itself I think would be enjoyed by both by kids and adult readers, both of whom are going to find something relatable in the pages. ( )

Kind of a philosophical exploration of the concept of "boring" ( )

¿Por qué nos aburrimos? ¿Qué significa estar aburrido? ¿Qué cosas nos aburren? ¿Cómo sería el parque de atracciones más aburrido del mundo? Un ingenioso libro sobre el aburrimiento que nos hará reír a carcajadas.

Del aclamado autor japonés Shinsuke Yoshitake, capaz de exprimir todo el humor de cualquier situación cotidiana.

What does being "bored" mean? What makes things "boring"? A puffy-haired child wanders and wonders. exploring these questions in various settings and made-up situations. ( )

A young child is bored so begins to question what makes something boring. Is it too much of the same of the thing? Things not being unique enough? What is the most boring age of all? And so forth.

This is a very clever book and I like how it really encourages children to think differently. Rather than just coming up with something to entertain boredom away, this book invites the reader to think deeply on the topic and examine their own feelings.

The illustrations are fairly simple but fit perfectly with the story being told. ( )
