The Dangerous Book For Boys- MotherTalk Blog Tour

This is the first book I am reviewing with my eleven and a half year old son,MITCH, who is sitting next to me as I am typing rapidly so both of us can get to bed at a decent hour. MITCH (who insists on having his name in all caps, because it looks important and he thinks the author might be reading this review so,"We need to do a good job, Mom!")

MITCH thinks we should just make a list of our "likes" and "dislikes" of the book. So that is what we are going to do. (and upon MITCH's insistence we will use a different font and make it large.)

LIKES:

• It wasn't a boring book. Most of the stuff in it I actually read. (MITCH)
• Provided fond memories of my own childhood and activities I did with my own dad. (devra, who's name is not in caps as MITCH is laughing evilly because he gets to be in charge and likes that he is the only one in caps.)
• Most of the contents of the book were accurate- for example, the rules on the soccer pages are the rules for soccer. I know because I play it. (MITCH)
• The book doesn't need to run on batteries nor be plugged in yet it utterly and completely energizes the reader. It is easy to keep reading and reading all the way to the end. (devra, still not in caps with smartass son next to her smirking.)
• I liked the sunflowers because I was born in Kansas. (MITCH)

DISLIKES:

• The book isn't called "The Dangerous Book for Kids" (MITCH)
• Doesn't have an index and that's just not right. (MITCH and devra, who's still not in caps, even though I am included in the parenthesis with MITCH)
• Other than skinning a rabbit, there isn't anything in the book about cooking. Girls like boys with barbecuing skills! (devra, lower case, but hanging on.)
• Insect and Spider section was too short. There were six pages about insects and there are more insects in the world than people by a ton. (MITCH who is awesomely awesome in caps according to himself.)

OH YEAH! WE ARE SOOOOO GOOD! And please note we have no sense of humor...................................................................................................NOT!(previous sentence designed and typed by MITCH who still reigns in caps forever and ever. oh and devra his mom, while not in caps, is still his awesomely awesome mom. Oh yeah!)

MITCH is going to bed at 11:00 PM which is a new record for staying up on a school night. MITCH says "Thank You MotherTalk!"

And now that MITCH is in bed, I'm going to use ALL THE CAPS I WANT! MWAHAHAHAHA!
