Summary: Perfect for any girl, young or old
Comment: I bought this book for my niece for Christmas. I thumbed through it before wrapping it and fell in love with it. I can't wait until my boys are old enough to get the male counterpart version. My husband was so impressed with the book, he even wants to read it with her. It's the perfect gift for a young lady, something they can read and learn from on their own or with mom, nana or aunt. A true classical wealth of information every girl should know.

Summary: Another anti-male propaganda
Comment: Here we have a book that was given permission by the writers of the Dangerous Book for Boys to write a version for girls. Nothing wrong with that. Now when you look at the back cover this is what's written:..."here is the no-boys allowed guide to adventure".

Yet they manage to turn another innocent book for girls into a gender war! "oh no, you don't need this boys; how dare they!". What has this world come to. If you cannot write a book celebrating girlhood and innocent playtime without picking on boys/males/men then don't waste our time with this anti-male brainwashing propaganda! these writers are a total hogwash.

Summary: Daring Book for Girls
Comment: I purchased the "Daring Book for Girls" for my daughter. She loves looking at all the interesting things to do. She takes it to school and talks about geography or whatever else pertains to what they are studying.

Summary: My g'daughter loves it!
Comment: I bought this for my g'daughter's 11th birthday. At first she was busy playing with toys she rec'd that day, but then realized later that evening that the book is full of fun things to do, new things to try, and facts that realy interest girls her age. The next day she spent an hour trying to perfect the karate moves illustrated in the book.

It's a great way to stimulate a girl's mind while also getting her to try things she might otherwise be timid about.

I bought the Dangerous Book for Boys, too, but won't give it to my g'son until his birthday in a few weeks.

Summary: For girls of all ages
Comment: I bought two copies for girlfriends who are celebrating milestone birthdays this year. Although I believe the target audience is pre-teen/teen I thought it would be great to dare my girlfriends to learn and live some of the things in the book that they've not experienced. Why do you have to be young to be daring? Good gift no matter the age.

Editorial Reviews:

The Daring Book for Girls is the manual for everything that girls need to know—and that doesn't mean sewing buttonholes! Whether it's female heroes in history, secret note-passing skills, science projects, friendship bracelets, double dutch, cats cradle, the perfect cartwheel or the eternal mystery of what boys are thinking, this book has it all. But it's not just a guide to giggling at sleepovers—although that's included, of course! Whether readers consider themselves tomboys, girly-girls, or a little bit of both, this book is every girl's invitation to adventure.
