I Loved This Book and I'm a Grown-up

The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything As a Positive Psychologist, I'm all in favor of this book for girls. It talks, shares and teaches about so many of the subjects that girls want to know more about. For example, Double Dutch Jump Rope, How to Tie a Sari, Every Girl's Toolbox, Joan of Arc, Making a willow Whistle, and Sleep Outs, and even Boys. Here is a quote from the Boy's section: "Wherever you fall on the specturm of how you feel about boys, do treat all your friends, boys and girls, with kindness. This has gone out of fashion and that's a sad mistake."

Oh, who am I kidding, I loved this book because I am me, a woman who still has a daring girl inside of her! I want to Jump Rope (the knee-I have to be careful, though.) I want to learn how to tie a Sari and really know how to use tools and learn about famous women through the ages and have maybe not sleep outs but pajama parties with women friends once in awhile and leave the men at home. Did I say, men? Yes, let's treat them with respect! That is good advice at any age.

Whatever your age, this book will make you want to do and learn and have fun. It will infuse you with energy and your daring side will come to life. I say read it whether you are 8 or 98! I dare you!

The Daring book for Girls

I'm thourghly enjoying this book, I purchased two, one for me and one for my daughter. I work in a library and have recommended it to patrons to take out, it has gone out many times. I liked it so much that I talked a couple of the gals I work with to look at it and they also purchased it.

There is so much information in it on everything, the instructions for darts won me over.

Thank you Sharon Biddle

A Daring Book for College Girls Who Miss Good Fun

Having spent most of my childhood up trees or in a craft cupboard creating whatever I could think of, this book came as a wonderful surprise. Even after church, I and my friends would run outside and create elaborate games that probably do not make sense but seemed so fun at the time. My best friend gave me this book for Christmas so that we could enjoy the fun. I read the introduction and fell in love. Done with endless streams of DVD's, cell phones, and instant messenger, I am ready to play as God intended.

This book embraces all that play should be. It has everything from tying knots and building campfires to making your own paper and an alarm clock powered by a lemon. A tomboy by nature, this book appeals to my mind and my creativity at the same time. It gets back to old values like imagination, doing something for a purpose and spending time with people. It embraces so many areas of life. One minute you're in the kitchen the next you're backpacking in the woods and then you find yourself building a tree fort in your back yard.

I absolutely love this book and have already used it at the age of 20. Someday, I hope to pull it out and use it with my kids. This book has no age limit to its fun. I am so grateful to see today's overly technological culture combated with the opening up of the good value in the world around us.

The introduction states it well.
"Consider the Daring Book for Girls a book of possibilities and ideas for filling a day with adventure, imagination -- and fun. The world is bigger than you can imagine, and its yours for the exploring -- if you dare."

Even as the internet, cell phones, and Skype has shrunk the world, the world holds an enormous amount of adventure just wanting to be experienced. This book presents a wonderful guide to enjoying life and its beauties, even as an adult.

A fun trip back to my childhood days

As an adult, I felt like I was taking a trip back into my childhood days as I read favorite games and activities I enjoyed as a kid. Sometimes I found my laughing as the games brought back vivid memories and other times I found myself saying, "Oh, I remember playing that."

I think this book is a great resource for things to do with your kids.

The Daring Book for Girls is the manual for everything that girls need to know—and that doesn't mean sewing buttonholes! Whether it's female heroes in history, secret note-passing skills, science projects, friendship bracelets, double dutch, cats cradle, the perfect cartwheel or the eternal mystery of what boys are thinking, this book has it all. But it's not just a guide to giggling at sleepovers—although that's included, of course! Whether readers consider themselves tomboys, girly-girls, or a little bit of both, this book is every girl's invitation to adventure.
