A great book for young and old alike! The book tells you how to use a foxtail, as well as great games to play with it. Everyone in the family will enjoy this book! The game is a interesting twist on catch. The only catch is that you can only catch it by the tail (The material trailing the ball). The capabilites of this little ball are endless! I'm still coming up with different ways to use it!

As soon as I opened the book, I was captured by the simplicity of the game. Even my little sister, who is 8, figured how to throw it. After a while, the whole family joined in on a game of Stay Put 21, a game featured in the book. Amazingly enough, my little sister won it! We all had a blast, though. I think Klutz has done an excellent job on this unique, yet fun toy and I would recommend it to anyone

The Foxtail is a really fun toy. The book was helpful on ideas for games, but just playing "catch" with it is great. Even dogs will love to retreive this toy - just don't let them chew!

The foxtail is right up there with the Frisbee. I can't imagine why it never caught on. Everywhere I play it, people want to join in, or at least know what it is. I've given many of these as gifts. To me, the book is useless. It's just fun to throw and catch it. Trust me on this; It's so fun, and people of all ages love it.

I've used a foxtail before and love it! It's lots of fun to play with anyone. I would note that this item is the book only- though the picture shows the toy as well. I ordered this item too quickly and didn't double check that it was included. Enjoy!

The foxtail is very fun. The book it comes with seems outdated and isn't a fun read, but the toy itself makes up for it. We haven't played any of the suggested games out of the book. We are having fun just doing our own thing. We bought two just in case (trees). All four kids (age 13, 10, 8, and 8) along with my husband and I love it. What a great toy!

One of the reviews tells about the ages of a family playing Foxtail. I cannot agree more that this is a family game that the whole family can play at the same time. My brother and I would play when we were in our 20s. I am now 46 and the last time I was home on leave I played with my children 14, 12, and 2. Granted the 2 year old was just clapping his hands together to try to get the tail but occasionally he could snag it on the second bounce. Each of us played at hard at it as we wanted to which resulted in a lot of running and diving for me as the children learned about throwing an object from a spin. But that is the way I like to play. I was also able to lead them enough to get them moving some and eventually they started to be able to read my throws. A great way for the whole family to play outside together as energeticly as each wants to.

This toy is awesome! The book has several game ideas, but it is just as fun to see how far and how high you can throw and catch the ball! Fun for all ages!

Got this for my kids 15 years ago when almost every Klutz toy was in the local bookstore. Lost it somewhere along the line and have missed it every since. Had looked in my travels & even online a few years ago! LOTS OF SIMPLE OUTDOOR FUN ....EVEN WITH TEENAGERS!

I bought this item for my son for christmas, and the book I recieved had someone else's name in it. It was a used book.
