I'm (Almost) Never Bored cover

A wonderful story about a BORED little girl, deprived of screen time, who learns to have fun with her imagination.

"I'm BORED!" wails a little girl after her screen time is cut short. "That's great!" her dad says with a grin. "Being bored comes right before having a Really Good Idea." After an initial protest, the little girl dives into her imagination, and takes the reader with her on a whirlwind ride of pure fun. A cardboard box becomes a magical train, the washing machine inspires an imaginary trip into space, a scribbly doodle becomes a hungry spaghetti monster, and ants in the garden lead her into an escapade in the Funny Bug Circus. In a world where children can find entertainment at the touch of a button, it's ever-more important that they have time to be bored - because that's where they have the space to come up with their own Really Good Ideas.

Lively and characterful * The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week *
With an authentic child at center stage and the joyous celebration of screen-free, imaginative play, this is the ideal book for your own bored youngsters! * Lancashire Evening Post *
