Bought two, intending to give one to my nephew and his Daddy.

A grey-headed gent who happened to notice my selection leaned in with a conspiratorial smile and made a quip about that book not being for me.

I grinned back and said, “Hey, we didn’t get to do fun stuff like this in Girl Scouts!”

I skimmed the book the past weekend at Barnes & Noble -- felt like I was looking at my old Cub Scout books from back in the early 60s. The book does appear to be a throwback to acknowledge the basic nature of boys which is a good thing in my estimation.
