A great book for fun activities all year round. As soon as i saw it in the bookshop i loved it, and still do to this day, love it, love it, love it!If you like this but want something even better, try the great big glorius book for girls. By the way, i LOVE the illustrations!

- Loved by my daughter
Lots of fun, with a few quirky articles too. My 10 year old daughter jealously guards this book and keeps it by her bed at all times. She just loves this.

What better recommendation can you give!

- Bits of Valuable Advice That I Used in a Too Brief Format on Many Subjects
I read this book before going on a trip with my daughter. While we were away, she struggled with su doku puzzles and I was able to use the section in this book to help her.

I also liked the sections on making a friendship bracelet (an essential skill for our daughters), preparing a bird feeder, winning a staring contest, pressing flowers (another essential girl activity in our family), grooming a horse (a much contemplated, but never done, activity at our house), making a fake mess, walking ...

- Great fun!
On receiving this book on my birthday I quickly started reading it and enjoyed it throughly. While some chapters of the book are fairly sensible , how to do the perfect manicure - and so on-, but some are rather odd, How to survive an alien invasion, but this gives the book all the character.
Delightful read for girls around the ages of 8-14.

- Quite funny - do not take too seriously!
Quite funny and quirky and not to be taken too seriously this book is for younger girls as something light to read. Full of mostly fun things to do and step by step instructions of how to do them.

Only bad point about it: my 9 year old's first reaction to the book "its a bit sexist isn't it? boys can read too"
