The Girls' Book: How to Be the Best at Everything

119 pp. | Scholastic | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-01629-2 $9.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Amanda Enright. Transparent knockoffs of The Dangerous Book for Boys, these are jokier and more kid-friendly, though completely ephemeral and limited to instructions for activities. Each makes vague gestures toward gender exclusivity: Boys' includes "How to Lasso Like a Cowboy" and Girls', "How to Make Your Own Luxury Bubble Bath." But who doesn't wish he, or she, knew "How to Hoot with Your Hands"?
