| | | Sequel to "The Dangerous Book for Boys"
Does anyone have a copy of  "The Daring Book for Girls" ? One of the reviews on Amazon mentioned that there are a few things which Christian parents could find objectionable, such as palm reading and spirit-invoking slumber party games.

The Dangerous Book for Boys is, imo, excellent overall. I don't have high hopes for the sequel, however.

What age range is the book for? | Ivan -- The book doesn't say, but I would venture to suggest that it's primarily aimed at boys around 6 or 7 and up. It covers, for example, historical battles, how to make a bow and arrow, astronomy, maps, the Declaration of Independence, how to play chess, Latin phrases, how to make crystals, etc. However, a parent or grandparent can glean useful tidbits for younger boys too. Even four year-olds like to go fishing.  |

He loves monster trucks right now. I think I'm going to learn a lot around him! | |
