The Dangerous Book for Boys

This just happens to be the most wanted book in our house at the time. The Dangerous Book for Boys authored by Conn Iggulden and first published in London is the book that every boy in the US needs to read, outside the Bible of course. It's chapters include everything from making a pin hole camera to a whole chapter on girls and how to treat them. Really, this is a great book. You can read a pretty conprehensive review here.

I first heard about this book from my best girl friend, she was telling me that they had rabbit for dinner (yuck). I asked her why in the world she would make rabbit for dinner and she told me the whole account. Apparently her dear husband who is a great pastor friend of ours in Texas, bought the book and really enjoyed it. Sitting outside at their country home a little rabbit made it's way right past him the one thing the little cotton tail didn't know is that out pastor friend had just finished the chapter on skinning game. Quickly grabbing his trusty side arm he sighted and really brought home the bacon, or actually the rabbit. :0) Apparently this book is not only for those 18 and under, adults seem to like it too.

Really we have too many "soft" boys in our society today, too much pampering being done by us moms. There is something said for protecting our boys but something needs to be said about making them soft and girly. Our boys need to be getting dirty, discovering nature and learning skills that will last a lifetime. My free 2 cents worth. :0)

Anyhoo, I'm about to order if my Josh who will be turning 12 in 8 days. This along with a pocket knife we're two of his top birthday wishes.

Happy Reading!
