Some things simply never change. "The American Boy's Handy Book" is a guide for young boys who still find the time of playing outside highly appealing. Although 126 years old, the ideas are just as applicable today as they were then. The ideas and games presented encourage children to use their own imagination and build their own toys, to create their own fun. In a time of fears of childhood obesity, "The American Boy's Handy Book" may just be what some children need.

My 25 year old son asked for this for Christmas because ... Read More
