External Reviews
"A wonderful book and a must-have for children. I'm sending a copy to my nephew so he'll better learn to build fires, slingshots, dugout canoes, igloos, shelters, etc. He'll also be ready to escape a car trunk, a sinking vehicle, a brick jail cell and more! All those pesky fears about ghosts, zombies and aliens (the outer space kind) are alleviated with clear, sensible information and instruction. There's also a wealth of valuable advice regarding pimples, your first dance, missing homework, bears, sharks, avalanches and honeybees. All presented in an interesting, light-hearted manner with no ickily condescending overtones."
"Guy Campbell writes witty and useful tips that will keep the reader wanting more. This book is a very quick read and the great illustrations by Simon Ecob only enhance the book's overall satisfaction." - Goodreads Reviews.
