Book Description

3 and upP and up
It’s Sunday afternoon and Charlie’s bored. Then he trips over his teddy bear, who, much to his surprise, responds by shouting, “OW!” It turns out that Teddy is bored, too, because Charlie never plays with him anymore. Together they round up the other toys and launch a full-scale attack on boredom, using tubes of paint and kitchen implements as weapons and pot lids as shields.

As Charlie and his toys cast boredom out, the blue-gray and white pages begin, bit by bit, to fill with vivid color, capturing the energy of the battle and the mess that ensues. This unique illustration treatment will appeal to young children just learning their colors, and the energetic story will inspire them to approach their old toys with new imagination.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-Charlie, a small pastel-rendered mouse/cat/fox is bored-no one in his family will play with him. So, he and his toys create a boredom-fighting army to defeat the boredom monster. Although the imaginary battle is triumphant and the protagonist quickly banishes the boredom bug, his mother is less than thrilled with the resulting chaos. The family comes together over a board game in the end and boredom is forgotten (but the messiness of the room is not). Boldly colored objects occasionally punctuate the softly colored illustrations (a red colander makes a handy helmet) but most of the book is dominated by gray-blue tones. A sweet, yet uninspired story that is saved by a smattering of lovely illustrations.-Genevieve Gallagher, Murray Elementary School, Charlottesville, VA

4.0 out of 5 stars A story that kids can relate to, September 15, 2006
This review is from: I'm Bored! (Hardcover)
Charlie is bored and everyone is busy doing their things. By using his imagination, he re-discovers what simple items in the house can do to overcome boredom. This skilfully illsutrated book is a delightful treat to young children.
