`Full of great things to make and do for kids of all ages'
-- Waterstone's Guide to Kid's Books, February 2009
-- Waterstone's Guide to Kid's Books, February 2009
Product Description
So much to do, so little time, so best to start early. Full of things to make, achieve, learn (and some things you shouldn't learn) this is the perfect handbook for any child who wants to revel in being young and not-boring. Can you...Make an origami crane? Lie convincingly? Operate as a spy? Parents may need these skills (not origami) to wrest their child's copy from them and indulge in all the fun they should have had...

Format:Paperback
I am 16 and fancied having one of these books to see what they are like, most of the things in the book are a bit to young for me, like "make you own secret code", i would of LOVED doing that when i was younger, but also there are some interesting ones that ive done for example ive stated to "grow my own tree", so i can climb it when im an adult, thought that one was kind of cool, overall its a great book for younger kids say 9-12 but anything older and some of the things are a bit childish.

I was given a copy of Horne's last book, 101 Things to Do Before You Die, and it was a brilliantly designed and witty treat. Now I've found this new book is for kids and it's just as good. Every child I know would love this; perfect gift. It's interactive which they'll love as it makes the book their own, and filled with new activities that they may not have though of yet, like learning to operate as a spy and building things. Now that they've taken Why Don't You... off the air, kids need an incentive. It's funny too, and filled with facts and cute details. I'm giving it to all my friends' kids this Christmas. And as for the adults - they'll be jealously going through the book and thinking about boring childhood they had!

This book is brilliant - so many fantastic and original ideas to entertain you on a dull day. The illustrations are great and although meant for younger people, it is also inspiring for those of us who are already well on the way to be being old and boring.

For youngsters
I read about this book in a magazine for the 'over 50's' so thought it might be good for a rising 63 year old, but in my opinion, it is directed at young people, so I've 'passed it... Read more

Reasonable...
I got this for my son but actually it's a bit old for him... Not bad content though, although it's a bit too middle class (ahem, no offense) and polite - not enough truly naughty... Read more
