My daughter's ten, so it's the perfect book for her age, but I'm buying copies for two of my friend's daughters for Christmas, one's just a year and the other is six, I think this is one of those books that defies age - besides, their moms will enjoy it, too!Merry Monteleonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435956005780500310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35866870.post-74298683700598357942007-11-26T18:37:00.000-06:002007-11-26T18:37:00.000-06:00I am buying the Boy and Girl versions this year ev...I am buying the Boy and Girl versions this year even though Princess is only 4 and Monkey is 1!

I'm a fan of the vintage _American Girl's Handy Book_ despite its obvious dated gender-role assumptions, so I'm sure this one would find a place on my bookshelf. Kids? Ha, it's us grown-ups who need books like these! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35866870.post-56418654015478442542007-11-21T15:31:00.000-06:002007-11-21T15:31:00.000-06:00Hi Malcolm,Actually, I'm going to look into that o...Hi Malcolm,<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'm going to look into that one for my boys... though I'm not quite certain they need any more encouragment in being dangerous.Merry Monteleonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435956005780500310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35866870.post-73830222553012121652007-11-21T15:27:00.000-06:002007-11-21T15:27:00.000-06:00Nice counterpart to The Dangerous Book for Boys!Ma...Nice counterpart to The Dangerous Book for Boys!<BR/><BR/>MalcolmMalcolm R.

My youngest daughter is still young enough for this book and both of my girls love the idea of doing sporty, adventurous things. Maybe I will buy it for a Christmas present!<BR/><BR/>When I was a kid, my sisters and I had something similar to this book which had ideas for scavenger hunts, puzzles, games, clubs, things to collect, make, etc, but while our book was ostensibly for both sexes, we could tell that it was largely for boys. I think there was a girls' sections with stuff about embroidery and cooking.
