 A wonderful treasury of fun knowledge and women's history. I have a daughter who considers herself to be at least two things: an intellectual and a tomboy. This book satisfied both! Fun, useful 'how to' information such as how to build a lemon clock, how to play tetherball and how to press flowers, written in a concise, very readable way. Information about women in history is also in the book, along with the periodic table of elements and information on how to build the perfect scooter. I think this book would appeal to anyone; boy, girl, man, woman...of any age, who just likes to learn and do new things. It's a book you can read cover to cover as an adult and both become a bit nostalgic and enlightened at the same time. Wonderful! Double Dog Dare Ya! This is a great book for girls truly of all ages - daring ones, ones on the verge of being daring, not-so-daring ones, and even ones that are so daring they may need some daring instructions to keep them from being TOO daring! Everyone should add this book to their holiday gift list - the little girls, and not-so-little girls in your life will cherish it! Go ahead, I dare ya! In fact, I double-dog dare ya! For the rebel in all of us It's been a daring adventure reading this book, and well worth it. This is a light fun book that's not just for little girls. This is a crafty little book for girls of all ages, it will make a great Christmas present or just something special for you to relax and enjoy. Also recommended Understanding: Train of Thought. fantastic book for all kinds of kids I am a fifth grade school teacher, so I see a lot of books meant for kids who are growing up. many of these books, especially the books geared for girls tend to be very dramatic, social survival guides that delve into the social ins and outs of growing up at younger and younger ages. This book rises above all of that in the same way that the Dangerous book for boys (also a staple in my classroom) did. It tells kids that it is OK to be kids, it is OK to have a lot of interests, from sports to science to history to literature, to enjoy life by doing. when I discovered this book on amazon I looked at the table of contents and was delighted at what I saw; the rules of basketball, how to tie a sari, campfire songs and many more topics. I called the girls in my class over, some who are jocks, some who are girly-girls, some who are science minded, and our social butterflies. accross the board each and every girl found something to love about this book, to the extent that there was a fight over it when it arrived in our classroom. I am convinced that if there were more books like these telling kids to be kids and live life rather than play video games or watch TV all day, the world would be a better place. | |||||||||||||
