The Most Boring Book Ever
by Brandon Sanderson & Kazu Kibuishi (illustrator)
This is a humorous collaboration between bestselling fantasy author Brandon Sanderson and graphic novel author and illustrator Kazu Kibuishi. The total disconnect between text and illustration gives kids a great perspective on using your imagination and the different ways of telling a story. Together, the deliberately dry text and the lively Hayao Miyazaki-inspired illustrations are a lot of fun.
Ages 4-8

The Best New Books for 6-8 Year Olds, recommended by Our Children's Editor
The past year has been a particularly good year for chapter books for emerging readers; it can be hard to find good books for 5-8 year olds to read for pleasure (as opposed to learning to read), but this year has a great crop of entertaining easy reads. Our children’s editor, Tuva Kahrs, picks out some of her favourites.
