More bad than good

I agree this book has a few good things within it's pages. It does include what some might think of as 50's mentality; in other words, innocent common sense. However, although something like changing a tire could be helpful and valuable, I was very disappointed with things like karate and...

Less than daring Girls are forbidden to play the didgeridoo

Complaints by indigenous Australian academics earlier this year led HarperCollins to apologise for including a section on how to play the didgeridoo in "The daring book for girls" and to remove it from later editions. It seems that there is an Aboriginal custom that dictates women are forbidden...

Great gift

I got this for my cousin (she's in upper elementary school) and it was a hit! Her mother was also excited about the opportunities to read the book together (my cousin is half-Japanese and doesn't read English very well yet).I got the boys book for her brother and encouraged them to read each...

Better than video games

My niece was thrilled with this book. I bought it because kids don't play, explore and/or know how to anymore. As a science teacher I'm constantly telling my students to get outside and get to doing something even just observing stuff around you. Not enough of this is done with video games, cell...

Perfect for any girl, young or old

I bought this book for my niece for Christmas. I thumbed through it before wrapping it and fell in love with it. I can't wait until my boys are old enough to get the male counterpart version. My husband was so impressed with the book, he even wants to read it with her. It's the perfect gift...

Another anti-male propaganda

Here we have a book that was given permission by the writers of the Dangerous Book for Boys to write a version for girls. Nothing wrong with that. Now when you look at the back cover this is what's written:..."here is the no-boys allowed guide to adventure".Yet they manage to turn another...

Daring Book for Girls

I purchased the "Daring Book for Girls" for my daughter. She loves looking at all the interesting things to do. She takes it to school and talks about geography or whatever else pertains to what they are studying.

For girls of all ages

I bought two copies for girlfriends who are celebrating milestone birthdays this year. Although I believe the target audience is pre-teen/teen I thought it would be great to dare my girlfriends to learn and live some of the things in the book that they've not experienced. Why do you have to be...

Great for June Beaver

Too boring. Promotes the 1950s stereotypes of girls' interests and does little to broaden their horizon or foster a want to escape those stereotypes. The only redeeming parts were the "occult" and "Satanic" sections. Don't know why others would be so critical of them, when the Bible is no less...
