A great book for all boys (and parents of boys)

This book is a wonderful, educational, coming of age book for all boys. It includes all kinds of stuff that every boy needs to know. I picked this up for my brother who just became the daddy of a little boy and he was very excited to see all the different instructions, games, and so on in the book. Even though my sons are teenagers now, I'm still going to pick up a copy for them.

Brought back memories

Really liked this book. Bought it for my twin grandsons. Not sure how well they are using it, but I was very tempted to keep it for myself. The book is loaded with information of activities that I remember well when I was a young boy. There is absolutely nothing bad about this book since it is loaded with many wholesome activities which will provide a fantastic learning experience for any boy.

Great for Boys and everyone else, too!

Bought this for my son. He keeps it by his bed and opens it randomly to find something interesting.
He often brings it downstairs with him to ask us questions about things he's read, and if we can try this or that. We love it! We've made several of the projects, and he has learned so much about history and literature from it. He really enjoys it!

Only one issue with this book...

I bought this for my nephew. I had thumbed through it at the toy store about a month ago and liked what I saw so I thought I would give it a shot. Of course there's no pleasing everyone. Upon closer inspection after receiving this book I was a bit disappointed in seeing "The Ten Commandments" in this book. Then I realized - well, every boy should know something about the great fiction of our time, too. If part of that is the "Ten Commandments", so be it. And it's only one page. I didn't see any other hidden religious instruction in there (I looked). Hopefully there isn't any more. I'd hate for my sister (who has chosen not to indoctrinate her children into any specific religion) to be unprepared for that. I'll be mentioning it to her so when the boy has questions - his parents can explain that clap trap to him. So for those of you raising your kids with an "other than Christian" religion (a non-Abrahamic religion in general) or no religion at all - be aware it's in there so there are no surprises.

Boys just wanna Have Fun

Remember the classic days when tanning skins, playing chess, and archery were naturally part of a boy's education? Welcome back!

This cool book has everything from tying knots to survival tips, instructions for "marbling paper" (a gorgeous and artistic project I didn't even know an average person could do), how to play poker, and even a few naughty projects to do when you're bored in school. There are also geographic, historical, and even grammar tips for boys; just about anything a boy could need to know is in here. While not all of these things would be fun for me personally, I can tell just reading this book will be a blast in itself and make it hard for me to sit still.

Just as a minor note: this book is NOT sexist. Just a few people have claimed this, but it's still ridiculous. The title says "For boys", not "ONLY for Boys". What do you think the author's going to do, guard the bookstores to make sure no female buys it? I'm a woman and I'm getting it; moreover, I'm a social feminist and I don't mind the title in the least. Heck, I love that it's shamelessly old-fashioned. I've always wanted sons and I can't wait to share this book with them when I do have them.

But until then, it's all mine! :)
