This is a list of 100 things, each one getting 1 page, that are interesting and useful to know, such as:
  • blowing, tying, and deflating balloons
  • making pancake syrup flavors
  • figuring out your dog, cat, rabbit, or horse's age in human years
  • making a  birthday cake look special
  • telling when someone is lying
  • packing for a sleepover, and hosting a sleepover
  • getting ready for school in 11 minutes
  • sharing a room with a sib
  • making people laugh
  • creating a signature style
  • getting in AG mag
and so on...

PROS:
useful, easy to understand, sensible instructions wth nice pictures.

CONS:
Expensive considering you can read through the whole thing in 5 minutes, some things you may already know, and some might seem like you could figure it out yourself without paying $8.99 (or was it $7.99?)

that's cool, I might go to Barnes and Nobles just to read the book sometime.

AG had an older book out called here's how. It was really cool and I got it from the library.

I have it. I really like it. It is $9.95. They are really useful, especially #9, Preparing for School and #10, Getting Ready for School in 11 minutes.

It sounds cool. I saw it at the store, but I didn't really know what it was about. Maybe they have it at the library.
