The Pocket Daring Book for Girls: Things to Do Reviews
-
This coming summer, I don't know what to do. But my parents always make my summer fun; they always plan the camping, the beaches, the parties, the workshops and the road trip. I don't mind if I should waste all of my energy as long as I enjoyed having fun with my parents and siblings. Last year I bought this old crappy book at NBS Lucena with my Goodreads' friends and this book is for mean girls, kidding, I mean for daring girls. It looks simple but I really enjoyed reading the facts the authoress include in the book.
Do you like adventure? How about ghost stories or do you like to play skateboard? Hey, don't forget the ugly pumpkin every Halloween, the campfire every summer and don't waste too much money to cloth-covered notebooks and a fancy sit-upon for your tea party, why not make your own with this! (Showing the book to the little daring readers!)
Counting from one to ten and end up beaten with scary mosquitoes every summer, this may help you guys and please don't mind the word girls. I know boys and girls will enjoy reading this book although the title made the boys scared. This book is a small size pocketbook in which you can easily carry to anywhere you wanted, from the river while paddling your canoe or in the camp where scary little voices wanted to scare you. This is a very handy book to all ages! Below are the things that I really enjoyed;
1. One of the fields that I really enjoyed is Science and this book includes the Lemon-Powered Clock. I can't believe it that a Lemon can power a small clock, how does it work doc?The nail has been galvanized, which means it was coated with zinc to help resist rust. The lemon contains acid. This acid dissolves the zinc on the nail. In chemistry terms, this means that the zinc loses an electron and becomes a positive force. The moisture in the lemon functions as an electrolyte, a fluid that conducts electrons - if you will, a swimming pool of electrons.
The electron shoots out zinc, through the lemon, to react with the copper on the wire. The copper gains an electron and becomes a negative force. The exchange of electrons is a chemical reaction. It creates chemical energy, or charge. All that charge needs is a circuit.
The electron exchange buzzes around the circuit you built - zinc/nail to copper wire to clock to copper wire to nail to lemon to copper to zinc/nail to lemon, and so on. That's the transfer from chemical energy to electricity, and it gets the clock going as well as any manufactured battery.
2. I've read like there's no tomorrow and I have a book journal that almost have no pages left. Good thing I saw this Cloth-Covered Book and I'm planning to make one this summer or I'll ask my mom to make one for me. I'm a spoiled kid after all. Kidding. Hey, don't forget to use this as your scrapbook, if I can only make one not like my sister who can do better handicrafts than me.
3. I've heard a lot of new places in Mindanao that they have this so called Zip Line! Never tried one but I'll make sure this summer I can live life to the fullest! A homemade or your own made Zip Line, can help you experience the fun and excitement! I want to try this once I get hold on those big trees lying in the backyard.
Who said only girls can read this book, hey everyone can!

If I had a daughter, I'd love to give this to her, or do some of these things with her.
Ah, I miss tether ball, hardcore competitive hand ball, and friendship bracelets (which reminds me now of those beaded friendship/sellable geckos)! Some things in the book I've also never heard of. Some are great life skills that I think I'll teach myself (such as tying different styles of knots). This really took me back to my childhood somehow. (: -
This book was better than the Daring Book for Girls: Wisdom and Wonder. The stuff in here was pretty good and fun to read. You can read about how to make a fire, knots, zip lining (and how to make your own!) canoeing, skateboarding, (very useful) tips on running faster, over ten different games of tag, leaf identification, animal tracking, pranks, etc.

A gift from Ann at Christmastime, I paged through it at that time. This morning I finally sat down with a cup of coffee and spent some time with this pocket-sized book. The chapters on knot-tying and fort-building were of particular interest.

Very useful information for both boys and girls. Not as entertaining as "The Dangerous Book for Boys: The Pocket Book, Things to Do" but just as informative.
