My Review

This is a great book that, according to my 10 year old son, is an educational experience that shows crafts and projects that boys of all ages would enjoy, such as making go-carts and tree houses.

In today's society where parents have their kids on schedules that rival their own, where a child spends more hours per week playing video games than he does working on homework or playing outside, this book comes to the rescue with riveting stories, trivia, information, and boyish projects (although I have no doubt girls would enjoy them as well. This is no doubt a book I would have read over and over again as a child, for hours at a time).

This book gives boys a lesson in being curious, inquisitive, and getting out and doing things that are more fun than watching TV.

Sorry, not my cup of tea.

"One of the authors once took a white mouse into school, though considering what happened when he sat on it, that is not to be recommended."
