Boy's Book of Adventure: The Little Guidebook for Smart and Resourceful Boys

Full of good texts and pictures from a broad range of topics in nature, from stars, insects to building a tent, ideal for interested kids who are exploring. Texts of each one idea/craft/knowledge are kept short and sweet, and they are easy to follow with no need of uncommon materials . Perfect for 8-10 years to read by themselves and be inspired. It is my hope that my son is inspired by these ideas and start to grow me some tomatoes, and even be tempted to read more about subjects like astronomy, geology, etc.. Not happy as other reviews about the notice on the cover "No Girls Allowed". Another thing: talking about riding a bike, they say, always ride on the right, which of course is wrong in UK. I know this is translated from French, but the editor should have corrected this!

My grandson(age 6) has this book in German, this is his mother tongue. I found it so good that I wanted a copy in English for when he came to stay. Really full of super things to do with Kids indoors as well as outside. He is a Little Young for many of the ideas but I find that's fine as he can have a few years of fun.Interestig for Girls too!

Another fab buy with many ideas, games and activities to get the little guys in your life moving about more. After a discussion with the little boy's mother I selected this book as it really seemed to be what she was looking for.Upon receiving the book I had a quick look through and it really had some exciting little bits and pieces held within, Looking forward to hearing about some of the adventures the little guy is going to have.

This book is packed full of things to make and do... very informative for a young boy... a proper adventure book he loves it ...

This book had a print production problem. Pages 25,28,29 and 32 were spoiled and unfathomable as they were overlaid on top of other pages written in French. This has let down an otherwise excellent book which was bought as a gift.Update: I re-ordered this and the second copy was fine - so highly recommend.

the birthday boy loved it and is still reading it!

My son and his friend both loved this book. They refer to it often. Perfect purchased.
