Summary: This book is an intentionally old-fashioned, politically incorrect eclectic collection of boy appeal facts and activities. It includes dozens of short, randomly placed, chapters that cover a large range of topics. Simple instructions for coin tricks and paper airplanes alternate with excerpts from history including famous battles, astronomy facts, and information about the ancient world. The dangerous aspect is more apparent in such chapters as Making Cloth Fireproof, and Hunting and Cooking a Rabbit.
Read A-likes: The Daring Book for Girls; The Boys Book of Survival; How to Be the Best at Everything; The Double Daring Book for Girls, and The Pocket Dangerous Book for Boys.
Personal Thoughts: This is one of the most requested and well loved books for young boys in our local library. This book is endlessly interesting to young boys, adults, and even girls. Some of the chapters include very useful information including Five Knots every Boy Should Know, Fishing, First Aid and Navigation.
