This awesome book received 4.7 out of 5 stars over 935 customer reviews.
(Frankly, I think many sections this book would probably work just as well for girls too, if they love traditionally "boy" activities and topics, such as building tree-houses, tying knots, fishing, sports etc. But it's a must have for boys.)
Here's the description on Amazon:
The bestselling book for every boy from eight to eighty, covering essential boyhood skills such as building tree houses*, learning how to fish, finding true north, and even answering the age old question of what the big deal with girls is. In this digital age there is still a place for knots, skimming stones and stories of incredible courage. This book recaptures Sunday afternoons, stimulates curiosity, and makes for great father-son activities. The brothers Conn and Hal have put together a wonderful collection of all things that make being young or young at heart fun—building go-carts and electromagnets, identifying insects and spiders, and flying the world's best paper airplanes.
