Hi guys

I have read a fascinating and magical book called [b] The Dangerous book for Boys[b] by Gonn & Hal Godden

It's a boys scout-like book as it tells you how to build a tree-house to building a go-kart. It is jam-packed with useful, and interesting facts, ranging from the solar system to juggling. It's a real little gem. Perfect for your son ( and husband).

The only thing I was disgusted in , was the fact that they included a little section on how to kill rabbits and skinning it when it's dead. I thought it is not appropriate for a book aimed at pre-teen boys. They can easily be influenced. Also, in some cases, I find the authors to be blatantly biased, when it wasn't called for.
Despite those two misdemeanours, I thorougly enjoyed reading the book and couldn't stop reading it.
