The only audiobook for all self-respecting girls from the team behind THE DANGEROUS BOOK FOR BOYS `The Daring Book for Girls' is the manual for everything that girls need to know - and that doesn't mean sewing buttonholes! There have been pale imitations of our `Dangerous Book for Boys' trying to create the same for girls. But nothing has achieved that same feeling of freedom and adventure that the `Dangerous Book' had in abundance. But now `The Daring Book for Girls' will fill that gap. It is a real daring book written by real girls for real girls. And what real girls want, just look at their comments on-line, is adventure, excitement, and just as much danger as the boys. So here we present to you Famous Women Spies and Pirates, Women Who Changed the World, How to Make and Fly a Kite, Seven Daring Wonders of the World, How to Survive in the Wild, and how to try to begin to understand why boys show you they fancy you by pulling your hair. The only cooking you'll find in `The Daring Book for Girls' is cooking over a fire, in the wilderness, while your friends tell you ghost stories to scare you witless!

Grand-daughter (age 10) loves it so much, I ordered the sequel for her next birthday. Since she lives 2000 miles away from us, in an area where most girls' aspirations do not rise higher than pom-poms and baton-twirling, this book has been a "mind saver".

a parent's/babysitter's best friend!
I gave this book to a 10 year old as a gift, and she absolutely loved it! It's kind of like a survival guide to childhood play (and not necessarily just girl activities). I think this book is best for upper elementary school girls because the directions could be a little complicated, so prepare to help decipher if it's a younger child. I think more pictures could have helped, but the lack of color adds to the overall look of the book, so I understand why this is so. There were games and activities in there I remembered from my own childhood, as well as ones I had never heard before. It's a parent's/babysitter's best friend because there are countless things to do outside and away from the T.V. We played "snail", a version of hopscotch (the book talks about many versions of this classic game) for hours outside with her 8 year old brother. This book provides hours of enjoyment, entertainment and exercise - i'm thinking of getting another one for my own shelves!
