| |  | Books The Dangerous Book for Boys |  | | | | | | | | | | Rating:  - Great for the 'boy's' in your home!
I originally bought this book for my son, he's 11.He loves it.Unfortunately my husband and 6 brothers won't give it back to him, yet.They've enjoyed the 'projects' as much as my son has.
Rating: - Great for Summer and beyond
I bought this for my 9 year old grandson and he has really enjoyed it so far and will for years to come. I told him that since I hate to hear the words "I'm bored" he now has no excuse to say them around me again. He can pull out this book and find plenty of amusement!
Rating: - Great stuff
My twin 12 year old boys came out to stay with me this summer.I just read them the Battle of the Alamo last night.I see why schools think kids have adhd and no focus.The schools have no focus!Giving background to the story I talked about Davie Crockett and Daniel Boone.When I was a kid these guys were mythical heros.My boys had not been familiar with either of these two.Schools complain that kids aren't interested in learning.Perhaps they have to teach something interesting.Kudos for this book.
Rating:  - Fun for Dad, too
This book has all sorts of cool ideas in it, from easy, couple-of-hours-with-Junior-type projects to ones that confused the heck out of me.Lots of fun for the hands-on Dad looking for something besides video games to call quality time with his children....
Rating: - great, but an inaccuracy...
This is a wonderful book, full of gems and the things that enriched our lives in the "good ol' days"...
I was baffled by the reference to gerrymandering being a Republican gimic...
the republican party was not founded until 1854, as an abolishionist party no less...
"In 1812 during the second one-year term of Governor Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts. His party--the Democratic or Anti-Federalist Party--redistricted the state legislature to its advantage, and Governor Gerry signed the bill. At the office of the Boston Centinel, when artist Gilbert Stuart sketched some lines on the map of the redistricting to make it look like a salamander, editor Benjamin Russell named the creature a Gerrymander. Stuart's cartoon was widely circulated, and Gerrymander came to mean "to redistrict to political advantage." In keeping with the spelling, it was pronounced with a j sound, even though Gerry pronounced his name with a hard g."
Hope this helps!
