Book Reviews of The Double-Daring Book for Girls
Book Review: Suitable for Girls, Boys and Adults of All Ages - Amazing Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
Remember when you were a kid and you watched movies where Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney "put on a show?" Or how about how Huck Finn built a river raft? It may have seemed unrealistic at the time, but it also looked like a lot of fun, right? Here's the book for you!
The Double Daring Book for Girls, inspired by The... Dangerous Book for Boys, contains all sorts of information that children of all ages and all genders should appreciate, including: "How to Make a Scarecrow,"" "How to Become President of the United States," and "How to Make a Lava Lamp." A lot of craft projects are outlined, such as calligraphy, making antique paper, making a snow globe, and quilting. It also covers stuff that you thought you would have had down as an adult, but probably don't, like "How to Say No / How to Say Yes," "Phrases and Idioms and Their Origins," and "How to Practice Anything."
The book is aimed at pre-teens and early teens, but does not talk down to its readers. The writing and diagrams are clear enough for even an adult to follow. Best of all, it uses "she" as the gender neutral noun instead of "he."
I highly recommend this book for girls, for women who used to be girls, and even for boys and men, even if they don't want to learn how to run away and join the circus.
Summary of The Double-Daring Book for Girls
The eagerly anticipated follow-up to the bestselling phenomenon The Daring Book for Girls is an even more daring guide to everything from making a raft to learning how to play football to the art of the Japanese Tea ceremony. This second volume, with all new original material, promises to be even more of a daring adventure than the first. Girls will learn how to surf, get horseback riding tips, make a labyrinth, find out about April Fool?s Day history and pranks, how to organize a croquet tournament, find out about cowgirls, the Nobel Prize, being a detective and much more! Just as packed with creative and exciting material as the original, but twice as fun, this book will be beloved by all Daring fans everywhere!
