No Boring Stories!

by Julie Falatko

Charles Santoso (Illustrator)

The unpopular animals have had enough. They want to be in a picture book! Stories about mummy-loving kitties and cuddly bunnies at bedtime are boring. Wouldn’t you rather hear about yeti crabs in robo suits and fierce babirusa princesses who fight giant grape monsters?! This group of misfits has a unique story to tell, but they’ll never finish writing it if their over-eager bunny neighbour won’t GO AWAY!

Julie Falatko, critically acclaimed author of the Snappsy the Alligator books, brings her signature humour to this stand-alone picture book about finding your tribe and writing the stories you want to see, no matter how weird or wild they are!

Thank you to Penguin for a free physical copy in exchange for my honest review.

No boring stories is a cute story that follows one bunny who just wants to have some input from some other storytellers. These other storytellers though don't want to let in him in their group and try to do everything they can to send him away. That is until finally he is able to give them an idea that helps their story and they are willing to listen to the bunny.
This is a great story that brings to mind how we all need a little help from others at times. Rather than help is in the form of coming up with an ending to a story, or something far bigger. We all need to listen to each other's ideas and to not judge people by how they look on the outside.

I can't wait to read this book to my niece now and to see her reaction to No Boring Stories.
