My Christmas presents for my nephew and nieces this year were the book The Dangerous Book for Boys and The Daring Book for Girls. I’ve skimmed through them before but couldn’t resist a more thorough reading before I wrapped them up. For those who’ve never heard of them, they’re not quite like the name suggests. They won’t teach you how to be a rebel, just how to be adventurous in a good way. They’re meant to recapture the golden age of childhood when boys and girls actually knew how to do something besides play video games. They include everything from how to make a battery to how to identify constellations to inspiring stories of historical figures and everything in between and much more. They’re great reference books for people of all ages. The book for boys is definitely better than the one for girls, though maybe that’s just my prejudice, but both are very much worth the effort it would take to browse through them.
