Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Another anti-male propaganda
Here we have a book that was given permission by the writers of the Dangerous Book for Boys to write a version for girls. Nothing wrong with that. Now when you look at the back cover this is what's written:..."here is the no-boys allowed guide to adventure".

Yet they manage to turn another innocent book for girls into a gender war! "oh no, you don't need this boys; how dare they!". What has this world come to. If you cannot write a book celebrating girlhood and innocent playtime without picking on boys/males/men then don't waste our time with this anti-male brainwashing propaganda! these writers are a total hogwash.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Daring Book for Girls
I purchased the "Daring Book for Girls" for my daughter. She loves looking at all the interesting things to do. She takes it to school and talks about geography or whatever else pertains to what they are studying.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My g'daughter loves it!
I bought this for my g'daughter's 11th birthday. At first she was busy playing with toys she rec'd that day, but then realized later that evening that the book is full of fun things to do, new things to try, and facts that realy interest girls her age. The next day she spent an hour trying to perfect the karate moves illustrated in the book.

It's a great way to stimulate a girl's mind while also getting her to try things she might otherwise be timid about.

I bought the Dangerous Book for Boys, too, but won't give it to my g'son until his birthday in a few weeks.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - For girls of all ages
I bought two copies for girlfriends who are celebrating milestone birthdays this year. Although I believe the target audience is pre-teen/teen I thought it would be great to dare my girlfriends to learn and live some of the things in the book that they've not experienced. Why do you have to be young to be daring? Good gift no matter the age.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Great for June Beaver
Too boring. Promotes the 1950s stereotypes of girls' interests and does little to broaden their horizon or foster a want to escape those stereotypes. The only redeeming parts were the "occult" and "Satanic" sections. Don't know why others would be so critical of them, when the Bible is no less scary or gruesome...much more so in the macabre and graphic details, in fact. Just look at Christ nailed to the cross oozing with blood. Those who deny this charge have not read both Old and New Testaments.

Regardless, people still read the Bible to their children...Ever wonder why the children grow up to be paranoid, God-terrified adults?
