The Dangerous Book for Boys

This is a great father/son book. There are things in there that I was never taught to do, so both my son and I are learning. Great stuff to do together!

I originally bought this book for my son, he's 11. He loves it. Unfortunately my husband and 6 brothers won't give it back to him, yet. They've enjoyed the 'projects' as much as my son has.

I bought this for my 9 year old grandson and he has really enjoyed it so far and will for years to come. I told him that since I hate to hear the words "I'm bored" he now has no excuse to say them around me again. He can pull out this book and find plenty of amusement!

My twin 12 year old boys came out to stay with me this summer. I just read them the Battle of the Alamo last night. I see why schools think kids have adhd and no focus. The schools have no focus! Giving background to the story I talked about Davie Crockett and Daniel Boone. When I was a kid these guys were mythical heros. My boys had not been familiar with either of these two. Schools complain that kids aren't interested in learning. Perhaps they have to teach something interesting. Kudos for this book.

This book has all sorts of cool ideas in it, from easy, couple-of-hours-with-Junior-type projects to ones that confused the heck out of me. Lots of fun for the hands-on Dad looking for something besides video games to call quality time with his children....
