The Dangerous Book for Boys


If you're raising a son, you need this book. We found it for C-Man a couple years ago and gave it to him for an Easter present. He LOVES it!!! Today we're stuck inside because it's bitterly cold here. He pulled it out and began plotting. Muhuhuhahaha!!!

Here's a sampling of the contents:
Making a Battery
How to Play Stickball
Fossils
Building a Treehouse
The Rules of Soccer
Dinosaurs
Making a Bow and Arrow
Understanding Grammar--Part One
Table Football
Fishing
Timers and Tripwires
Baseball's "Most Valuable Players"
Famous Battles--Part One
Spies
Juggling
Skipping Stones
Navajo Code Talkers' Dictionary
First Aid
Secret Inks

Honestly, wouldn't your boy love a book with all of this (plus more)? It's written by Conn Iggulden & Hal Iggulden. The website is www.dangerousbookforboys.com.

By the way, Superwoman informs me the girls' version is not so wholesome. She says it includes some information on how to have a seance. It is called The Daring Book for Girls and is written by Andrea J. Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz. They have a website you could go to for ideas without purchasing the whole book.
