 Good, but not the "best" of its genre September 18, 2007

I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it is a lot of fun, nicely illustrated, and it has a number of features that are appealing to boys (and girls).
On the other hand, this book is unabashedly derivative of the funnier and more comprehensive The Big Book of Boy Stuff and the better designed The Dangerous Book for Boys. This leaves How to Be the Best at Everything running in third place for prospective book buyers.

Although not as comprehensive and complete as Bart King's amazing Big Book of Boy Stuff, The, this book is a good start for younger boys (and girls!) looking to impress their friends with how awesome they can be.
If you've ever wondered how to fly a helicopter, or needed to know how to avoid being eaten by a bear, or planned to show your superhuman strength by ripping a phone book in half, then THE BOYS' BOOK is for you.
This short guide (less than 120 pages) is filled with tips, tricks, hints, and helpful knowledge that anyone can use to make themselves look like a genius. Because, as you know, not everyone knows how to survive a volcanic eruption, freeze a finger, get an egg into a bottle, or send a message by semaphore.
Optimus sum. Which, by the way, means "I am the best" in Latin.

It is a small book but well worth the price. If you're a parent, get the book as a Christmas gift. I think it is a perfect gift. Way better than so popular no computer games. Your sun will find over hundred tips for things that interest him and believe me, he will be grateful. I found myself reading many passages with great interest. Also a great recommendation is a series titled "Why some cats are rascals"

My grandson is 10 years old. He said that it was the best book he'd ever read.

My 10 year old son has devoured this book. He loves everything in it, how to make waterbombs out of paper... I have to tear him away at breakfast on school days because he just wants to work on a new project suggested in the book.
