The book is really cute. It plays on kids often saying how "bored" they are.
Throughout the book the main character, Delia, is so busy looking down that she never looks up and sees what is happening around her.
I think reading this with kids would be great and provide lots of conversation and interaction between the reader and the kids.
All in all, I give the book a great big thumbs up. See what I mean about the illustrations?
After reading this I would encourage kids to draw a pictures of their own "boring" day.
