Every Boys Should Have this Book,
By TriOak "Homeschooling a Nature Boy" (Forksville, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Original Boy's Handy Book (Hardcover)
My 9 year old son found this book at our local library and we've had it out every since (I think we're on our third renewal). I'm breaking down and buying him his own copy. We also have the very popular 'Dangerous Book for Boys', but my son greatly prefers this book instead.
The Original Boy's Handy Book is chock full of nature and outdoor craft and project ideas. Everything from knot tying, to kite making, to building a snow fort or a boat. This book is full of things to do for the outdoor oriented boy. Here's what my son has to say about it: "It's a really cool book because some things you can put into a science fair, some things you can do for a school project and some things you can just do for the fun of it. If you have the materials, you can build some really cool things from this book. Sometimes I like to take things from this book and modify them and sort of make them my own creations. This book is great for any kid that has access to wood, light and occasionally a piece of glass or a fish bowl."

The Inspiration Of My Boyhood Misadventures,
By Blake Lemons (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Original Boy's Handy Book (Hardcover)
My Dad bought the paperback for me when I was a kid which I still have but when I spotted this book in hardcover at a local book shop I HAD TO GET IT. I honestly cannot say that I ever took this book into the woods or off to the mountains with me when I was a boy but I guarantee that it inspired and informed many of my daydreams and misadventures. I bought myself a copy, my nephew a copy, and a copy for my Dad. I recommend you do the same.

Boys Handy Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Original Boy's Handy Book (Hardcover)
True "vintage" crafts; fun for grandpas and grandsons. This book matches the Girls Handy book which has equally interesting projects for girls.
