The boys book was dumb; thus this is dumberer
This is a terrible book. It is daring only in the sense that hopscotch could be considered daring. In the boys book they tell you to hunt, shoot, kill and cook a rabbit. In the girls book they teach you to sing the "Miss Susie" hand-clapping song. Brilliant.
I loathed this book the way I loathed people trying to hammer me into a gender-specific role when I was a little girl.
Note to parents: Let your little girl be DARING on her own. She doesn't need this book. NO ONE needs this book.
Update: To those who left comments who thought I did not know that Dumberer was not a word - I was making a play on the sequel to the Dumb and Dumber film, Dumb and Dumberer. It was just a joke. And I hardly think that personally attacking me and saying that I am angry because I did not happen to like this books is just bizarre. Nor do I advocate killing a rabbit - I was just making a point. You people can be so Prussian.
