Bored Panda

Author Mike Bender Illustrated by Chuck Dillon

Grades Pre-K-3 Ages 4-8

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!
