The Big Book of Boy Stuff »

Bart King is the author of The Big Book of Boy Stuff, The Big Book of Girl Stuff and The Pocket Guide to Mischief. A longtime middle school teacher, Bart lives in Portland, Oregon, where he invents new sock designs and plays in a kazoo jazz quartet.

There's this boy. Let's say he's somewhere between nine and thirteen years old or so. You'd like to see this kid get creative. You'd like to see him get some exercise. You'd like to see him get out from in front of the television. And you'd love for him to be motivated enough to find some stuff to do on his own. This boy NEEDS The Big Book of Boy Stuff!

The Big Book of Boy Stuff has all the important information that boys just have to know. Collected here for the first time in one place, it holds the answers to these timeless questions:
What do I do if I get a bean stuck up my nose?
How can I make lightning without killing myself?
Where can I find new practical jokes to play on my friends and family?
How can I make a rocket?
What is the best way to poop outside?
How do I tell a girl I like her?
Why would I tell a girl I like her?
How many mosquitoes does it take to suck all the blood out of a person?
What's that smell?
. . . and many, many more!

This big, thick, durable book includes fascinating chapters on gross stuff, magic, emergencies, fireworks, games, experiments, jokes, activities, insults, pets, flying things, and, of course, duct tape. No boyhood is complete without a copy!

Hilarious, disgusting... It's fast, often rude, very funny and features great illustrations... Adults are liable to appreciate this book every bit as much as typical 'boys.
