Summary:
A child, bored by his toys, contemplates the emotion and concept of boredom, and whether or not it is boring to be an adult--or a child.

I'm bored. But what does being "bored" really mean? What makes things "boring"? The Boring Book playfully and intelligently explores the ways that this seemingly stagnant state is is actually a portal into a mind-blowing experience, and more "fun" than anyone ever imagined! -- From dust jacket.
