The Ultimate Boys' Guide: How to Be the Best at Everything - Essential Life Skills & Fun Activities for Kids, Teens & Young Adults | Perfect for Gifts, Birthday Presents & Self-Improvement

I purchased this book after stumbling across it here on amazon while ordering some christmas gifts for my 8 yr old son. So, after ordering a variety of typical boy toys I went ahead and ordered this book too, knowing it might be good for bedtime reading over the winter. I know it has only been 3 weeks since Christmas but I swear my son has read this book every single day since then and today proclaimed that it is the best gift he has EVER received in his life. (This coming from a kid who also got an Xbox Kinect, video games, expensive Lego sets, and a puppy for Christmas (not to mention a $200 cash gift from his Aunt). Nonetheless, he claims this book is the best present he has ever received- BY FAR! It's hard not to smile when I watch him with this book, he has an expression on his face that says I know something special, like he is carrying around a secret wealth of knowledge that he has just discovered and is confident he can master the skills he reads about. He carries this book around with him and reads and re-reads it every chance he gets, he takes it stores, restaurants, to school and even takes it to other kids houses. I'd call that a Prized Possession" and a big score for me... Mom.
