children's Literature

taking A Cue From The Nostalgia Of Books Like the Dangerous Book For Boys, This Book Is An Odd Assortment Of Puzzles, Practical Jokes And Activities. Some Of The Activities Described In The Book Are Standard Games Like Charades Or Projects Such As Making A Birdhouse. Children Will Enjoy Baffling Their Parents With Any Of The Many Number Tricks And Puzzles, And The Whole Family Will Benefit From Projects Like Learning How To Find The North Star Or Getting Tips About Recycling. Alongside These Practical Activities Are Some More Unusual Ones—how To Tell If Dad Has Been Replaced By An Alien And How To Escape A Charging Elephant For Example. The Black And White Line Drawings Look As If They Have Been Lifted From The Dick And Jane Books Of The 1950s—the All-white Family Consists Of A Brother In Slacks And T-shirt, A Sister In A Dress And Pigtails, A Father In A Collared Shirt And Slacks, And A Mother In Dress And Pumps (except When Shown With Curlers In Her Hair Getting Into Bed). The Activities Are Not Grouped By Type Or Subject, But Appear To Be Designed For Random Browsing. Fortunately, A Detailed Table Of Contents Will Help Readers Find Specific Projects. While Not For Everyone, This Book Offers Fun Alternatives For Families Wanting A Break From The Electronic Age. Reviewer: Heather Christensen
