Well, I bought this one as a gift for a friend's daughter, but I'll be darned if I didn't want to keep it for myself!
I've always wanted to know the perfect way to annoy people in an elevator, analyze handwriting, knit with just my fingers, master math and whistle really, really loudly!
All this and much, much more can be mastered thanks to Juliana Foster's book, which is, incidentally, a total KEEPER!

Foster, Juliana. The Girls' Book: How To Be The Best At Everything. Illustrated by Amanda Enright. Scholastic, Inc. 2007
This compact little guide provides advice on many issues of concern to girls including: "How to look your best in photos" and "How to put together the best dance routines." The presentation is in a question and answer format with some black and white illustrations, and diagrams. The over 75 responses, some as brief as half a page, others as long as a couple of pages cover a wide range of topics: "How to do a su doku puzzle" "How to survive in the desert" and "How to annoy your family and friends". Some responses describe accurately how to make an item, like an origami frog, while others are clearly tongue-in-cheek, "How to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope." The lack of pizzazz is a drawback when children are accustomed to bright colors and vivid design, and may result in low sales.

There are many things in How To Be The Best At Everything (The Girls' Book) to be the "best" at, but they are all one-pagers with superficial directions. This and the companion book for boys - How To Be The Best At Everything (The Boys' Book) - are a waste of shelf space. Save your money!

This book shows you how to be the best at everything. I think it is a great book. It shows you how to do great stuff like building a campsite in the wilderness, annoying people in elevators, making your own bubblebath, making a shake without a blender, and making sugermice. I liked it all. So if you are planning on reading it, I hope you like it.

Hilarious book - LOVE IT!! October 13, 2007

I bought this book for my 11-year-old niece. LOVE IT! If I didn't love her so much, I would keep it for myself! It was hilarious to read - from the HOW TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU WERE LATE FOR SCHOOL to the HOW TO ACT LIKE A CELEBRITY to the HOW TO ANNOY PEOPLE IN THE ELEVATOR sections. I even had my husband smirking and laughing as I read him the sections out loud. I then even called my mother to read to her, and I laughed all over again with her. I can't wait to see my niece read it and learn these very important skills! :) If you're looking for a serious book to get your child - this isn't it. But if you're looking for something that will spark their imagination, hold their interest, and make them laugh then this book is it.
