5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book for learning how to yo!, April 11, 1999

I learned how to yo from this book. This is an excellent book. The best part about it is when it teaches you the little things like how to do the thumb wind-up. The yo-yo that comes with it is also one of the best fixed axles you can get! This book will teach a beginner how to yo better than anything short of a personal yo-yo tutor.

This review is from: The Klutz Yo-Yo Book (Klutz S.) (Paperback)

A nice book of basic yo-yo tricks. This book has been around for a few years, which is a compliment to its fun presentation. The wood yo-yos that came attached to the original books now have some collectible value. Lucky Meisenheimer M.D. author of "Lucky's Collectors Guide to 20th Century Yo-Yos...History and Values"

4.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating for a 9 yr old pefectionist, October 15, 2008

My son loves doing yoyo, but these tricks are pretty challenging. He keeps trying and getting frustrated. He's learned to do 1 or 2 tricks. (A more patient kid may have better luck).
