A wonderful book of projects and toys a child can make

I read this book in the fourth grade and did many of the projects, Trapping, camping, snow forts, skits and plays, magic, all the things an American boy (or girl for that matter) will find exciting and fun.

I have given the American Boys Handy Book to the children of many of my friends. It will spur anyone's creative thinking, young or old!

If you like this one check out the American Girls Handy Book written by Beard's sister.


A must for any American boy at heart

I was given a first edition by my grandfather in 1973. It was sadly lost in a fire in 1982. I have since been looking for another copy to pass to my son. All of the projects are simple and straight forward. Beard's musings on boyhood and the fundamental task of growing up are right on the mark - even for today's techno child. A must have for any library!

this book kicks

An excellent book. I read it when I was 12 years old. It is the perfect book for any guy or girl that loves the outdors.(is outdors spelled right?) Well anyways, this is the best book that has ever been written for people that are in any way the least bit cool. I love it, and you would too.


the greatest story ever told, is your own life story.

The greatest story ever told is your own life story. This book is the instruction manual. I recieved this book as a child and use it more now than I did then, 25 years ago. I gave a hardcover edition of it to my young nephew to use and it was sadly lost. Now all I can find is this ugly, flimsy paperback to reorder. HELP ME! I desparately need the hardcover! It gets too much use and there is no aesthetical enjoyment derived from this cheap imitation. I'll take anything used infact. PLEASE reprint the orange and black hardcover edition!
