Best Book for Boys EVER

My neighbor recently gave my son this book for his eighth birthday. "Cute" I thought, then I opened it. There is some of the neatest things inside this book. My son loved the chapter on morris code, girls, make a derby car and so much more. We had company up the following weekend and he must have shown different parts of the book to everyone at least ten times. This book has encouraged him to read, learn new things and kept him away from television, gameboy and other electronic devices.
Seems to me we may be in need of a sequel, only I'm not sure if he actually left anything out of the original version!!

A rip-off

| This could be a great book if it lived up to the title, a great idea poorly done. Why not just buy the Boy Scout Handbook, it's much better and more useful. This is just a rehash of old reprints, largely from Boy Scouts. I guess I'm disappointed because the title promises so much and it delivers so little. |
"I didn't have this book when I was a boy"

"I didn't have this book when I was a boy" That quote from the book is very true. But that isn't a bad thing about this book, because this book either remind's off things you did as a child or tells you things you should have done or learnt. It's the perfect book of information and the only book you will ever need.
With this book you can find out so much information and do so much from it. You can either read for the information or re-live your childhood with the bits on knots, games and go-karts.You can even give it to your children (if you have any) for an easy to work things out, guide (think of my starting sentance when I say this). If not you can join in with your children and relive your childhood with them.
It's a great thing and as I quoted "I didn't have this book when I was a boy" Comment | Permalink |

I gave this book to my Grandson for his kindergarten graduation. His older cousin
had received the book before and he was so very excited. There are so many activities to introduce to
children of the computer age who are already addicted to staying inside and playing computer games. He loves it.
It takes some assistance from grownups but that is great too.! Sharon Danziger

| This is a wonderful book for boys in grade school. My son checked this book out from his school library three times in a row, so I knew it was something that was keeping his interest. Refreshing in a world where kids are spending so much time with electronics. I bought this new book for him and he was thrilled. We are working on building several of the items in this book. Great family involvement. I will purchase a couple more to have on hand for gifts for nephews/grandchildren. |
