1: Makes an Important Point
I wish they would re-issue this book. I'd buy a copy for every family with kids I know - so the parents could read it and maybe pick up on the message: BOREDOM IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION. When I was young, all our best ideas and creations came after extended periods of boredom. We suffered while we were bored, yes, but then we thought of some "really great idea!!" or other. Planning, building, and organizing that great idea into reality, even if we sometimes failed, was much more fun (and educational) than TV, videogames, or even a trip to Disneyland. How many kids nowadays even get the chance to be bored? There's always a screen close by, or a parent or teacher to give them something to do. And yet, they don't seem very happy. Okay, I've ranted enough - the book says it a lot better than I can.

2: This book may be one of the most important books I have read
This book was clearly my favorite as a child. Ever since then, I have been enthralled with airplanes, and I have always tried to see what I am capable of doing, just like the brothers in this book. 17 years since my first reading, I am now graduating with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Coincidence?... I think not.

3: 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!

4: Most amazing children's book!
I absolutely love this book -- what an incredible illustrator Peter Spier is! But that isn't all: the story is fun and really interesting for kids of all ages. As with all books by Peter Spier -- watch out you will get hooked with his style and you have to get them all!

5: 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.
