Synopsis
Once there was a book that no one ever read. The book was just TOO BORING. One day the words in the book said: "We're tired of standing still in rows. Let's have fun instead." And so they escaped. But what happens when you let WORDS do whatever they want? The words jump into street signs, they leap onto shop signs, they decorate pathways and roadways and ponds. But one day they go too far. The Boring Book explores the importance of books and words in a fun and imaginative way. Children and adults alike will love it. The Boring Book is NOT a boring book.
