Book of the Week: The Dangerous Book for Boys

With the birth of my second son, I have decided that I need to brush up on the art of raising boys. I was an "indoor kid" myself--much preferring the company of books to that of my pals. My six-year-old is not displaying any of those tendencies, and my two-month-old is already showing signs that he is going to keep me running.

With that in mind, and determined to brush up on my skills in all things pertaining to little boys, I bought "The Dangerous Book for Boys" based on reviews I had read. I have not been disappointed.

The book covers everything from how to build the world's best paper airplane to the stories of famous battles. Other chapters include how to play make a "go-kart" and how to deal with girls.

I can see this providing for hours of "Dad-Mikey-and-Nathan" time in the Comings household.

If you have boys of your own, or if you feel like you may have missed out on some of the essentials of growing up (like knowing how to make a simple trip wire), this book is definitely for you.
