"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.
