Get them outside, get them engaged and if all else fails run the crap out of them - they won't break and far fewer will need Ritalin. Another positive is that the "Dads" will look less like pot bellied pigs (present company included)...

Boys need REAL stories of REAL men being heros... this book has it.

Boys need tactile adventures... this book delivers it.

It might not be PC, but running around playing 'war' or 'Cowboys and Indians', stick ball, and building a tree house is what boys want and need.

This book is a refreshing antidote to the education system (and some parents) that constantly scream "Sit Down and be Quiet !" to all children, especially boys. Its an even larger solution to those hyper-vigilant folks that seem to think making a gun with thumb and pointer finger and yelling "bang" at your friends when playing will lead you to become the next Columbine shooters. Don't get me started on the idea of sitting "Indian Style" in the classroom !!

Boys need to have stories about and be taught how to take risks and how to make small mistakes, so later in life they have a knowledge base to draw from when faced with life's larger challenges.

Its a great book for parents that want their boys to grow into REAL men and for those parents that want their little girls to grow up and appreciate / marry REAL men.]]>
