 Excellent Book For Any Age May 28, 2008
Wow! What a great book for girls. I wish this book was given to me when I was growing up. It is an excellent "how to" book for anything girl or boy, and can help when they are faced with lifes little "curve balls" as they grow up. I think The Daring Book for Girls should be must read for every girl and woman.

Great gift May 12, 2008
I purchased this book for my 10 year old granddaughter who lives some distance from me so buying gifts can be challenging. I had the book sent to me to be sure it was appropriate and I was pleased with everything about it. The Daring Book is visually appealing, accessible and full of useful information. It's perfect for the kid with a short attention span or one who can explore a book for hours. You can't go wrong with this book.
Girls will be Girls May 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
And luckily in our present society, girls can do this almost any way they wish. This book, with its myriad of different activities, addresses just about every subject girls could be interested in.
Along with traditional activities like jump rope (wich actually used to be a boys-only sport), there are essential things for girls to know, like changing tires and reading compasses. There are also history stories about strong women, instructions for slumber party games (including ghostly ones), and just about anything a girl could wish to do. Whether you (or your girl) is a tomboy or a princess, this book is a blast to have!
I highly recommend both this book and "Dangerous book for Boys". We need to remember that "dangerous" boys and daring girls are just what we need in God's Kingdom. Both of these books are hard to put down and great fun to read and apply!
Great book for all girls May 6, 2008
This book is wonderful. I got a copy for myself and now feel obligated to get one for any family member that has a young daughter. I picked up this copy for my sister-in-law and had a great time reading some of the stuff to my niece. My sister-in-law was thrilled to receive!
 Politically Correct and Useless Recommendations May 2, 2008
5 out of 29 found this review helpful
Wow. I must be the only reviewer who sees this book for what it really is -- a politically correct tome that encourages girls to be like boys. Some of the recommendations, to wit: always bring duct tape, carry a Swiss army knife, use a compass, tie knots, learn karate, change a tire, etc. Come on.
This book is another leftist attempt to blur the distinction between the sexes at a young age. I'm surprised that the author didn't include military ranks (in case the girl wants to become a Marine), how to dig a trench, and rules for playing poker.
If we traditionalists take any consolation, it's that no matter how much the leftists try and push girls to become boys, it never works.
