4.0 out of 5 stars A good little book, 20 Feb 2007
By young man (uk) - See all my reviews
  
This book is like a slightly dumbed down version of "The dangerous book for boys" I would say that it is aimed at a slightly younger market and is undoubtably good at what it does. Some of the stuff in it is just plain silly, great for the average 8 year old who after reading the page will turn to you and state very earnestly " I can climb a palm tree now". A fun book,not sure how practical the advice given in it is as most of it is never likely to get used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Envy inducing in 8 and 9 year old boys..., 30 Nov 2006
By Eire Mom (Ireland) - See all my reviews
I got this book for my son for his 8th birthday. He brought it into school the next day and at break all the boys were gathered round hoping for a glimpse into this magic book. But my son, wanting to be "the best at everything" only shared a couple of pages with his closest friends. Even his teacher said he wished he'd had a book like this when he was a kid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with many exciting adventures!, 27 Nov 2006
By S. Wallace (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
They say curiosity killed the cat, I will add satisfaction bought it back. I was glad I purchased this book out of pure curiosity, I have now purchased four more as Christmas presents for other male members of my family. I found myself being taken back to a childhood with my brothers who seemed to know every thing and the hero's of my youth. So much to learn that both genders would enjoy this knowledge packed read. I know all little boys and girls will want to put all the new advise to practise, go buy for the little man or woman in your life they will be total engrossed. I am off to hypnotise a chicken!!!
