Come along with a tech-obsessed Panda as he goes from having a "boring" no-screens day to a joyful, out-and-about day. The New York Times bestselling creator of Awkward Family Photos wants you to know: being bored is not boring!
For Panda, there is NOTHING worse than being bored. It's just so...boring.
But what's a tech-loving panda to do when there's no electricity? Skeptical that the great outdoors will cure his boredom, Panda nonetheless sets out on a day full of surprises. They might even turn out to be fun surprises!
From the duo behind The Most Serious Fart comes a very not boring tale about how boredom is never really boredom--it's a chance to discover all the fun waiting to be had!
"A worthy message in a visually lighthearted wrapper." —Kirkus Reviews
"[A] tale of discovering one’s own imagination....An entertaining story much needed in a world with an ever-growing digital landscape." —School Library Journal
"A book about being bored that is somehow the exact opposite of boring. For every kid who’s ever said 'I’m bored.' And for every grownup who’s said 'Just go outside.' I love it!" —Brad Montague, New York Times bestselling author of The Circles All Around Us
"A funny, wise, heartfelt, and much-needed story about boredom and so much more. Bored Panda should be required reading for every family!" —Jarrett Lerner, author-illustrator of Enginerds and A Work In Progress
"Not only do I love pandas, but I love being bored because every fun, creative, mischievous idea I’ve ever had came out of boredom. So be a Bored Panda!" —Karen McCullah, screenwriter Legally Blonde and Ten Things I Hate About You
