Product Description:
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.

- Fun for the whole family
I bought this book for my wife for Mothers Day to be from our daughter (she's 4 so kinda difficult for her to do it).
My wife has loved it and so has the rest of the family. We do family night every week and it has been a source of some great activities and fun learning times.
I have to give the book two thumbs up.
Rating: - Informative and fun.
My daughter enjoys this book and goes back to it once in a while. She tries out some of the ideas and have fun doing them.
Rating: - Adventure for tomboys and girlie-girls!
We love this book, and "The Dangerous Book for Boys". It is full of ideas, facts, and stories that will inspire imagination and adventure. From jump-rope songs to stories about famous female spies to instructions for how to make fake blood - this book is loads of fun for any kid. I have recommended it to others and will continue to do so!

This is by far one of the most interesting and unique books I've come across for young girls, heck even us older gals. It takes so many in depth looks at everything and anything you could want your daughter to know. My 10 year old daughter is fascinated by it. It shows you how to build a lemonade stand, play basketball, jump rope double dutch, read palms, tie knots, self defense moves, etc... There are also wonderful introductions of women of the world throughout history. Great stories about Cleopatra, ... Read More

- More bad than good
I agree this book has a few good things within it's pages. It does include what some might think of as 50's mentality; in other words, innocent common sense.However, although something like changing a tire could be helpful and valuable, I was very disappointed with things like karate and palm-reading.The problem is, there are so many more important life lessons that should be presented and are not.In my opinion, the bad and frivolous in this book far outweigh the good, and isn't worth the money spent ...
