The female answer to The Dangerous Book for Boys touches on crafts and cooking, but also has great instructions for games, survival skills round-ups, and stories of real-life princesses who could wipe the floor with Cinderella. If you're a dude, hide the cover and get over yourself; it's fun, useful reading for all.

A fun and informative book for girls. While I’m too “old” to be reading this, I found so many things extremely informative, interesting, helpful, and just plain fun. From real life princesses to female pirates to how to change a tire and build a campfire, this book is well rounded enough that even the young at heart can enjoy it.

I hate to admit I learned more from this than maybe even some girls and understand the concept of the book to go back to the roots of childhood before electronics when you really had to do everything from scratch. It will be extremely fun for moms to read with their little girls and reflect on their own childhood as well as teaching their children. ( )

I'm really glad that there was such a demand for a girl's only version of the dangerous book for boys! This one has everything from jump-roping rhymes to the history of strong woman who made a difference. Excellent book. ( )

280 pages of tips on sports, history of women spies, hiking, carving, linguistics, you name it. Too fun, and very nice illustrations. ( )

I forgot how simple my life was. I walked to the school bus, 2 miles, and home. Byt the 3rd grade, we didn't need an after school babysitter. We played out side! We bikes and explored the neighborhood with other kids. This was back in the mid to late 70's.

This book is about what kids can do with out DVD (VCR) players, sony play stations, computers, iPods etc. They go out and have fun. The book also explains how to oil a softball glove, build a scooter, interview.

There is improvement with the illustrations...a little too simple may miss the attraction of our tech savy kids. ( )
