A Kid's Review

Format:Hardcover

This book shows you how to be the best at everything. I think it is a great book. It shows you how to do great stuff like building a campsite in the wilderness, annoying people in elevators, making your own bubblebath, making a shake without a blender, and making sugermice. I liked it all. So if you are planning on reading it, I hope you like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the girls in your life, please buy this now! October 1, 2007

By J. Arena TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover

Well, I bought this one as a gift for a friend's daughter, but I'll be darned if I didn't want to keep it for myself!

I've always wanted to know the perfect way to annoy people in an elevator, analyze handwriting, knit with just my fingers, master math and whistle really, really loudly!

All this and much, much more can be mastered thanks to Juliana Foster's book, which is, incidentally, a total KEEPER!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious book - LOVE IT!! October 13, 2007

By L. Haikal

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this book for my 11-year-old niece. LOVE IT! If I didn't love her so much, I would keep it for myself! It was hilarious to read - from the HOW TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU WERE LATE FOR SCHOOL to the HOW TO ACT LIKE A CELEBRITY to the HOW TO ANNOY PEOPLE IN THE ELEVATOR sections. I even had my husband smirking and laughing as I read him the sections out loud. I then even called my mother to read to her, and I laughed all over again with her. I can't wait to see my niece read it and learn these very important skills! :) If you're looking for a serious book to get your child - this isn't it. But if you're looking for something that will spark their imagination, hold their interest, and make them laugh then this book is it.
