Review Detail

You've gotta love a book that starts out teaching you how to FLY A HELICOPTER! But that's just one of the wowza (and more mundane) skills to learn about in this book, which covers how to tear a phone book in two, get out of quicksand, make a good campfire, throw a lasso, and survive a volcano's eruption.

It will also teach you the fine art of juggling, all about taking care of stings, and how to write a poem. As you may have noticed, some tips are practical while others are the stuff of fantasy. But this book is pure enjoyment, from the first tip (how to do a skateboard ollie) to the last one (how to say you are the best in many different languages).
