The Dangerous Book for Boys, by Conn and Hal Iggulden is not at all dangerous. In fact, this is the perfect book for the young adolescent male, the book I wish I had when all the days of summer were stretched out in front of me. It's full of fun and the special kind of man-making knowledge that is guaranteed to keep a young male glued to the book. See if the following chapter headings don't stir your interest:
- Five Knots Every Boy Should Know
- How To Play Stickball
- How To Build A Treehouse
- Questions About The World
- Fossils
- The Golden Age of Piracy
- Timers and Tripwires
- Famous Battles
- U.S. Navel Flag Codes
- Juggling
- Insects and Spiders
- Secret Inks
- Navigation
- Navajo Code Talkers Dictionary
- Girls
- First Aid
I'm guessing that the content of this book will take you right back to your boyhood when knowing all this cool stuff made you a god amongst your pals. The book will also create a thousand opportunities for adult man-makers to engage the boys in their lives, talk, "do stuff," build things, and have a LOT of fun in the process.
If you were looking for an easy entry into man-making, this book could just be it.
