 I like the boys version better November 28, 2007
31 out of 42 found this review helpful
This book is cute, but amazingly stereotypical. It's like a manual for every silly playground game I ever played in grade school. It's got all the old schoolgirl rhymes and a lot of stuff from the old Girl Scouts manuals like how to make 'sit upons.' It has things like hopscotch and how to make friendship bracelets out of string and whatnot.
It's NOT 'daring' by any means. The title indicates, at least to me, that this would talk about more boy scout-type activities like fishing and tying rope and identifying animal tracks and things like that. It's not. To me a better title for this would have been something along the lines of 'the encyclopedia girlhood'
Q: Is there a British version? November 26, 2007

The British version of Dangerous Book for Boys is different from the US version (e.g. rules for Cricket instead of Baseball). Is there a British version to this book, and if so, is it different? Thanks.
Great ideas and info!! November 25, 2007

My daughter and I have enjoyed paging through the book together and have had many conversations about what we've found !! It brought back a whole flood of memories of the things that I did when I was younger!! If there was anything that I didn't agree with, which I haven't found yet, then it would be a great topic to discuss and let my daughter know how her Dad and I felt about that particular subject!! We've enjoyed this book and for my son "The Dangerous Book for Boys" - thanks for all of your hard work putting the book together!!
 This is a great book! November 22, 2007

This is a great book! I learned hundreds of new things I never knew before. My friend has also got one and we are pointing each other to the most interesting things that we find. It is a great Christmas gift for any girl. I also recommend books by Silverstein and the series Why Some Cats are Rascals
 feminist/ athiest book November 20, 2007

I bought The Daring Book For Girls and i was very disappointed to read the sections on palm reading, Bloody Mary(encouraging girls to contact the dead), and light as a feather stiff as a board ("pretending" that the person is dead, and making up how the person died while chanting, and pretending to levitate them.) I am a Christian, and I would be offended if someone bought this if I had a daughter. I bought this for my niece, and it will be sent back. Playing around with the occult is not a game. I know some say it's just a "game," but so a ouiji board, and that's just as scary. I also didn't like how there is not a section in the book on boys, like the book for boys has on girls. In my opinion, this book seems to be written from a atheist, feminist perspective. The book would have been ok, had those sections not been included.
