Kids are going to make slingshots and arrows on their own, no matter what the PC, New Age types out there think. Better to have Granddad there to supervise and make sure they understand the danger, however slight. This is a neat, useful book -- wish my grandfather had had a copy.

Delightful guide on how to make 30 inexpensive toys that grandfathers *ought* to know how to make! Slingshots, stilts, kites, etc. -- complete building instructions, plus helpful tips on teaching moral lessons to kids while making and playing with the toys. Great Father's Day gift

The person who thought that this book promotes violent behavior is a clueless ignoramus. The book helps grandparents and kids bond with all kinds of wonderful activities, including --gasp! slingshots and other such toys! I love to see that, in this day where wimpiness is the fashion, some people are courageous enough to buck the politically correct trend. Some people say violence never solved anything; I suggest they ask the city fathers of Carthage if that's true. Wonderful book.

it's an ok book.but it seems a little old.It has neat things like stilts,tin can telephone,and a slingshot.

A really charming book. My father (a new grandfather) loved it and can't wait to try some of the projects with his new grandson.

Terrific book, filled with simple, practical toys that kids can make (with a little help from grandpa). A perfect book for rainy weekends!

We returned this book after being shocked to see that it's pages were filled with questionable crafts most of which promoted the aggressive and even violent behavior that a really cool grandfather would certainly not want to model. Teaching a grandchild to create for example sling shots, arrows, and other weapons make one a dangerous grandfather not a 'cool' one.
