Wonderful!

You can never say enough when it comes to Peter Spier: excellent illustrator and just the greatest storyteller. This particular story will take your children on a magnificent journey -- journey so exciting that they will want to hear it over and over and over again (don't worry the illustrations speak for themselves and there isn't all that much text. Me and my kids absolutely recommend this book!

Most amazing children's book!

The Mighty Flight

Bored-Nothing To Do is a fun-filled book. It tells of to very bored boys who can't find anything to until one of them decides that they should build an airplane. They take a bunch of their parents important things and build a high flying airplane and fly all across town. But when their parents notice that their windows, car engine, sheets and many other things have gone missing, they decide to go find their kids. That's when see them flying in the sky (...) This is one of my favorite books and I think that you will like it to. Many people only dream doing what these boys do which is one reason why this book gets five stars from me. Bored-Nothing To Do is a very fun adventure to read about.

Wonderful book for any age!

When I was a little girl my grandmother would sit and read this book to me. I loved every minute of it and dreamed, wondering if I could do something like the boys do. I highly recommend this book to people of all ages. Not only is it well written but the illustrations are awesome. I hope this review helps someone.

GREAT Book for any 5-year-old

A truly one-of-a-kind book about two resourceful brothers and the adventure they embark on. I read this book time and time again as a child, and even though there are probably not more than 100 words, it truly speaks volumes. The pictures are incredibly detailed, the story engaging, and any five-year-old will find himself instantly enthralled. Recommended for kids from 3 to 93.
