154. The Most Boring Book Ever. Brandon Sanderson. Illustrated by Kazu Kibuishi. 2024. 48 pages. [Source: Library] [picture book, 4 stars, unreliable narrator, read between the lines]
First sentence: A boy sat in a chair. That's it. He just sat in the chair. Sitting in chairs is boring.
Teachers and librarians may love, love, love this one to read aloud. Perhaps. It would definitely be one for teaching children to READ BETWEEN THE LINES and learn the concept that not all narrators are reliable or trustworthy. The illustrations, of course, steal the show--rightly so.
I knew it would be a silly, over-the-top adventure and I was all in. I did enjoy it. It shows a certain kind of humor.
