Sweet story. Beautiful illustrations. Perfect story to read with your little on a rainy day.

A lovely and imaginative book with the perfect dark and wet rainy day color pallette.

Part of the genius of this book is that it never gives the protagonist a name or a gender, and the illustrations are ambiguous enough that it might be about either. So any child can read it and imagine it is about them. I love the illustrations. They’re gorgeous!

استمتع بأي أدبٍ يطرح فكرة ”الملل“ بشكل إيجابي تعليمي. أن لا بأس بأن تبتعد عن شاشتك بعض الوقت، وأن تحيا لحظاتٍ من الملل دون شكوى، فهذا، مع الوقت، يفتح لك أبوابًا أكثر إبداعًا ويُعيِّشك أوقاتًا أشد متعة.

Very charming. The pictures are a bit stronger than the text but I like the idea here where the kid sees a tons of things once the computer game is out of the equation.

I really loved the illustrations in this book and I feel that it's worth reading just to look at the pictures. I'm still undecided how I feel about the story element to this one.

Really beautiful, evocative art, and a great quiet story. The book does a fantastic job of depicting the quiet magic of being out in the woods in the rain, finding snails and climbing trees.
It kinda skirts the line of "ALL ELECTRONICS ARE BAD, GO OUT IN NATURE", but not in a way that turns into a "you kids don't know how to appreciate life" screed. More of a "well the internet went down, what else can we do" kinda way, which I can get behind.
