16391 71ed13b3-da04-410e-b44d-4dc7201bf1a4 The Daring Book for Girls Andrea J. Buchanan Alexis Seabrook Miriam Peskowitz calibre (0.8.24) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2007-10-30T10:00:00+00:00 <div><h3>From Publishers Weekly</h3><p>Kadushin, whose lush voice brought the heroine of Stephenie Meyers's <em>Twilight</em> series to life, does her best to inject some intrigue and mystery into this mile-wide, inch-deep compendium of random facts billed as a manual for everything that girls need to know, a selection from the bestselling book. Alas, the audio version, replete with time lines, 14 variations of how to play tag and sesquipedalian vocabulary words, sorely lacks dynamism. The brief histories of famous women—Joan of Arc, Marie Curie, Salome—make for more engaging listening than material about how to change a tire or administer first aid. Listeners might find themselves wishing for something akin to the screen selection feature on a DVD, so that if they need information on, say, what constitutes a foul in tetherball, they could get to it without having to wade through the section on women who have earned patents for various inventions. Without such an index, the listener is reduced to writing down the information Kadushin relays, which raises the question: isn't this available in book form? <br>Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Whether it's female heroes in history, secret note-passing skills, science projects, friendship bracelets, double dutch, cats cradle, the perfect cartwheel or the eternal mystery of what boys are thinking, this book has it all. But it's not just a guide to giggling at sleepovers—although that's included, of course! Whether readers consider themselves tomboys, girly-girls, or a little bit of both, this book is every girl's invitation to adventure. </p></div> Collins 9780061840739 0061472573 3ikcGQAACAAJ 9780061472572 1300866 eng Reference.Parenting
