My 11 yr old loves this book!

My daughter just picked up this book from the school library, and is having a great time going through all the all the different topics. It's a bit sad that some reviewers immediately tag this book as everything from "belittling" to "Satanic." Geesh. As we went through the book, she attempted to put her hair up using a pencil (a useful trick; how is that belittling?), I told her about how my friends and I always did "Light as a feather..." at every slumber party, and she told me the variation of "Bloody Mary" that she had heard at school. The variety of topics covered in this book would make a pretty well-rounded kid; a goal I hope to achieve with my own. Not every entry hits the mark, but all in all, a fun and informative read.
And crying out loud, lighten up, some of you. Do you really think that your daughter knowing how to make a daisy chain will turn her into a future Stepford Wife? Or the palm reading entry will turn her to the occult? Go through the book with your daughter, and though you may not love every entry, you will find a lot to talk about and inspire.

nice gift

I saw an advertisement for this book and purchased it for my granddaughter in Florida. When it arrived, I perused it and found many things of interest. I used many bookmarks to have her access things I thought were timely and would be of interest to her. I shall not be seeing her before this coming April, but it is on its way to her for Valentine's Day. I shall be talking to her soon after, I am sure.

Super excellent

My granddaughters absoutely love this book (the boys love the companion book "Dangerous Book for Boys". I think it may have been their favorite Christmas present. They have read it from front to back and will refer to it over and over.

A Great Book!

I love these books. My husband told me about them, and I just had to buy them even though we don't have children yet. I think it's wonderful that there's a book out there to encourage kids to do things other than sit inside and watch TV or play video games all day. This book has so many activities that I did when I was a little girl, and I think every little girl should do. I highly recommend this!

Very pleased

I ordered the book for my niece for Christmas. It arrived within plenty of time and was in perfect condition.
