Customer Reviews

Fabulous

I bought 2 of these for my nieces for Christmas and they loved it. Every girl ought to have one of these, especially tween girls. It's filled with wholesome fun for girls as well as stuff that they can do with their families. I highly recommend this book.

Daring Book for Girls

I bought this for my 9 year old granddaughter. I was excited to see all the fun activities and things to make that were included. She likes the book, too, and is eager to try lots of new things!

A winner

I checked out the large book from the library and gave it to my grandaughter to see how she liked it. She did! But it's a huge book and it's filled with alot of history. I decided to invest in this pocket version, which is the majority of hands on activities from the book. It's quite nice. Two disappointments were that it does not include the Sun Saluation poses or the Karate poses that my grandaughter enjoyed trying. Maybe I can find those online and include them as inserts. Overall, it's a winner!

Awesome

I only wish I had this as a girl. Can't wait to get the other volume for my daughter.

Julia Reviews for Her Granddaddy

These are the responses of my 12-year-old granddaughter during a hurried trip to catch a plane. Julia is very smart and social. She went through the book but has not read it fully. She finds good things in it, especially in the Things to Do selections, but on the whole thinks it more suitable for younger girls, such as her 10-year old cousin (also bright but much less mature). It wouldn't do for her and her group; they would find it below their standard. Also, she found it old-fashioned (we mentioned the style may be deliberate). In sum, a great book for younger girls. On that basis she would give it four stars
