The Daring Book for Girls, by Andrea Buchanan & Miriam Peskowitz
I know this book is truly for little girls, but I didn't have the "lemonade stand, butterfly catching, tea party, tree house," type of childhood I think would be really fun. Not that any of us really did, and not that it really matters now, but anyhow...any book that teaches you how to properly short-sheet a bed is my kind of book. Oh, and I enjoyed learning about female pirate legends...death to Victorian pursuits!
I am not even done with this one yet, but I had to post just how much fun this book really is, and I will definitely be saving this book for the future little girl in my life...granddaughter or sweet little next door neighbor girl if I am blessed with grandsons...
If this book is good enough to make it on the Canadian Girl Scouts' website, you know you're in for some adventure!
Have a super weekend!

My boys have a copy of the American Boys Handy Book (which sounds similar)and they carried that around forever. They were always reading how to do this and that and quoting strange facts. It is one book they won't give up, it's still on the bookshelf in Sam's room.

OK this is my 1st time. Be gentle. So I'm thinking it is never too late for an happy childhood. Maybe this book helps us too all make a list of the things we would kind of like to learn/claim as our experences. For instance I keep thinking it might be groovey to learn to canoe and maybe camp out after canoeing someplace cool- so maybe in a year or two I will find some friends (Wayne is very not excited over this idea) and find/hire someone to go on a canoeing trip. It is up to me. By the way if anyone is interested in a fancy tea party- that I can do for you with the help of my girls (or maybe Olga's girl- they are the prefect age). Anyways I think being open to adventures a good way to be happy. Amy
I would LOVE to go canoeing with you, then camping. And maybe we need to do it as a girls thing because JJ is not the least bit interested either. Although my girls can talk him into anything I can't perhaps.
