Book: The daring book for girls
We just returned from an exciting camping trip involving lots of rain (luckily we have waterproof tents), skinny dipping in the ocean, fishing and canoe capsizing and found waiting for us on the doorstop this book - The Daring Book for Girls by by Andrea J. Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz, published by Collins (October 30, 2007). We immediately looked through the book and it fell open at the page ‘how to paddle a canoe’. My daughter was hooked.
I asked my daughter about the book - after all it is for girls…
Do you like the book: - yes I do - it has information about birds and canoing and it is mine.
What do you like about the book: It is interesting, everything about it is interesting - especially about making tents and paper planes and how to play darts. It has dangerous stuff in it - its for girls but does not just have girly stuff about fairies it it. Also it tell you how to make things and do things.
What things are you looking forward to doing from this book: I want to learn how to roller skate, make daisy chains, reading about how to be a spy so I can spy on my brother. It also tells you how to play basketball but I don’t really care about that.

I bought this book for myself along with the Dangerous Book for Boys. I’m trying various projects from the book as I think that learning new things or trying old things are good for even grown up boys and girls.

I bought this book for my daughter, hoping that I’d get a chance to look through it. She stole it away and had her nose in it for hours. She is so happy that she learned how to put her hair up with chopsticks.

Saw this book reviewed on angry chicken’s blog and KNEW it must be purchased for our girlie. It’s hidden away for Christmas, although I’m tempted to sneak it out and dive in myself….. !
