Some things simply never change. "The American Boy's
Handy Book" is a guide for young boys who still find the time of
playing outside highly appealing. Although 126 years old, the ideas are
just as applicable today as they were then. The ideas and games
presented encourage children to use their own imagination and build
their own toys, to create their own fun. In a time of fears of childhood
obesity, "The American Boy's Handy Book" may just be what
some children need.
