The Dangerous Book for Boys

The bestselling book for every boy from eight to eighty, covering essential boyhood skills such as building tree houses, learning how to fish, finding true north, and even answering the age old question of what the big deal with girls is.

In this digital age there is still a place for knots, skimming stones and stories of incredible courage. This book recaptures Sunday afternoons, stimulates curiosity, and makes for great father-son activities. The brothers Conn and Hal have put together a wonderful collection of all things that make being young or young at heart fun--building go-carts and electromagnets, identifying insects and spiders, and flying the world's best paper airplanes.

The Greatest Paper Airplane in the World
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
The Five Knots Every Boy Should Know
Stickball
Slingshots
Fossils

Loads of Fun!

I bought this book for my 9 year old cousin's birthday gift. This is a kid who can rattle off all the Yankees starters and clings to his Nintendo DS like it's the only thing keeping him alive. He unwrapped it and tossed it aside. "Fail",...

Dangerous?

I would certainly not call this book Dangerous literally. Yet I think I know what the author is getting at. Like another reviewer said, this book is written to allow boys be boys and not apologize for it. Go out and scrape your knee,...

Buy this book for your sons, spouse, heck even my daughters loved it--I know it's almost criminal to have allowed them to look! Caution: prepare yourself for the many whittled sticks and bows and arrows you will find sticking in...

Probably better for ages 10-15

I presented this book as one of the birthday gifts to my friend's nine year old son. His mom and I were excited about it and had reviewed it prior to my gifting it, however, he showed less enthusiasm for the book than for the badminton...

Not as original as you might think...

This book is basically a rip off of the Boy Scout handbook. You want your boy to appreciate the outdoors, lay off the video games and TV for a bit? Don't bother buying this book and going at it alone. Contact your local Boy Scout Council...
