Average Rating:
 Rating:  - great titleThis book's title alone attract boys of all ages, but it also interesting for girls. There is some good information but I'd like more. Rating: - Way excellent!This book not only shows you how to do cool stuff your dad and grandfather did when they were kids, but explains a lot of things that kids everywhere wonder about. It's like a boy scout manual, but without all the meetings and uniforms. Some of the stuff is silly but cool, but other things are really useful to know, especially the first aid information.

I was never the average boy. I never played with sticks, or raced toy cars, or anything like that. I was reading books, like "Harry Potter," while he burnt ants with a magnifying glass. I enjoyed school, and got rather high grades, but my brother didn't have enough focus, a typical boy. But I must say that after reading the entire book, it was a great read for young and old boys alike. An awesome ...

In addition, you'll find answers to questions you've always wondered about . . . written at a boy's level of understanding. As I read pages about tying knots, forming and launching paper airplanes, picking out a Swiss army knife, heat at the equator, making a bow and arrows, understanding grammar, making timers and tripwires, reading U.S. Naval flag codes, creating and decoding ciphers, forming crystals, learning to juggle, practicing first aid, star charts of constellations, and famous battles, I was once again ...
