Book Reviews of The American Boy's Handy Book: What to Do and How to Do It (Nonpareil Book, 29)

Book Review: Get 'em out of the house
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a masterwork by one of the founders of the Scouting movement. It is designed to provide children (boys) with ideas and plans to make everything from kites to traps to invisible ink. It is writen in a style that is easy for the child to understand. In an age when kids can't be pried away from the TV and video games, this book takes us back to a simpler time when kids were sent outside in the morning and didn't come back in until supper.
My 25 year old son asked for this for Christmas because he loved it so as a boy, and I wouldn't part with my copy.
