Reviews summary: Brilliant book for boys or girls
Comment reviews: My nine year old twin girls love the book. Sure, they have no interest in hunting rabbits (they're vegetarians) or famous battles in history (at least not yet), but there's a lot in here for any kid who is not on too tight of a parental leash. Get this and the girls' book too. A lot of worthwhile bits in each.

Reviews summary: Great father/son book
Comment reviews: This is a great father/son book. There are things in there that I was never taught to do, so both my son and I are learning. Great stuff to do together!
