Descriptions du produit

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8–Intentionally old-fashioned and politically incorrect, this eclectic collection addresses the undeniable boy-appeal of certain facts and activities. Dozens of short chapters, in fairly random order, cover a wide range of topics in conversational prose. Simple instructions for coin tricks and paper airplanes alternate with excerpts from history such as Famous Battles and facts about ancient wonders of the world and astronomy. The dangerous aspect is more apparent in such chapters as Making Cloth Fireproof, and Hunting and Cooking a Rabbit, but also applies to the overall premise that action is fun and can be worth the risks. A section on stickball, for instance, includes advice to possibly flee the vicinity in the event of a broken window. The information is appropriately concise. The knot-tying section, for example, sticks to five basic varieties with clear instructions and useful diagrams. Occasional topics such as Marbling Paper and Latin Phrases Every Boy Should Know may not fit the stereotypical interests of young males, but support the general theme of cultivating curiosity. The authors refer to their own experiences as they tested the activities, lending an appealing personal tone. Tongue-in-cheek humor emerges throughout, notably in eight bits of advice offered in the chapter called Girls. Already a best seller in England, this American edition features several adjustments, such as substituting The Declaration of Independence for Patron Saints of Britain. Both premise and content should appeal to many boys, and might be even more successful when nostalgic dads join in.–Steven Engelfried, Multnomah County Library, OR

From AudioFile

British brothers Conn and Hal Iggulden wrote their dangerous book--a compilation of things boys should know--to inspire boys to be boys and play games outdoors instead of indoor video ones. This abridged version necessarily excludes most of the how-tos (tying knots, making a bow and arrow) and concentrates on questions about the world (Why is it hotter at the Equator?), rules of stickball and soccer, notes on fishing, and stories of famous battles and personal courage (Robert Falcon Scott, Robert the Bruce). Oliver Wyman adds an effective and appropriate gee-whiz tone to his reading. At times, Wyman even sounds a bit like radio personality Casey Kasem counting em down (except hes counting up) when numbering off famous battles and stories.

5.0étoiles sur 5 When you don't know what to buy a 13 year old, Mars 4 2007
Par I. Dobson "Free thinker" (Thunder Bay, Ont) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Dangerous Book for Boys (US edition) (Hardcover)
I was pleasantly suprised when I purchased this book for my nephew for Christmas and found myself, and all the other men in our family, passing the book around. The beauty of this book is that it contains topics for boys of all ages. Everything from tips on girls, the rules of cricket, and a description of the seven wonders of the world, it is a book that you can find useful at any stage of life. Humorous and informative, it is a treasure trove of trivia and a truly unique gift.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Trip Back to Your Youth and Great Opportunities to Connect with Sons, Nephews, and Grandsons, Juil 2 2007
This review is from: The Dangerous Book For Boys (UK edition) (Hardcover)
Put together all of your cub scout and boy scout manuals, your favorite books about masculine activities, and your favorite memories about growing up as a boy, and you'll find them all somewhere in The Dangerous Book for Boys. In addition, you'll find answers to questions you've always wondered about . . . written at a boy's level of understanding.

As I read pages about tying knots, forming and launching paper airplanes, picking out a Swiss army knife, heat at the equator, making a bow and arrows, understanding grammar, making timers and tripwires, reading U.S. Naval flag codes, creating and decoding ciphers, forming crystals, learning to juggle, practicing first aid, star charts of constellations, and famous battles, I was once again eight years old. I didn't know it was possible, but my body felt smaller and suppler. I could remember where I'd first learned about all of those things, in many cases remembering what I hadn't thought of in decades.

As a connection to the younger generation, this book is marvelous because you can create a common territory beyond the borders of video games, MP3 files, and exotic sports. In addition, you can relate to you young friend or relative your own experiences in these areas, fields that young people don't know how to visit otherwise.

After you've looked at this book, I'm sure you'll agree with me that every boy deserves the chance to add this learning and these experiences to his boyhood.

I'm sure there will be another edition of this book someday. When it comes out, Mr. Iggulden, please do me a favor and include a section on the rules of cricket. I've never been able to completely follow that game. Then, you'll have made my second childhood perfect.

This is just like the books we used to have e.g. The Golden Book of Wonder. It is ideal for fathers and sons to read together. Margaret Blair
