PC purists please move on to other items. These two books are exact reprints of 1882 and 1887 editions: “American Girls Handy Book”: How to amuse yourself and others, and “American Boys Handy Book”: What to do and how to do it. With 441 pp (Boys) and 474 pp (Girls) these books are absolutely crammed with ideas for activities, craft projects, information about nature and the world around us as well as charming Victoriana from the founders of boy and girl scouting. A real gift from Great Great Grandma’s attic. Both you and the kids will adore them and use them constantly, and we think members of both genders will enjoy both books in today’s world.

And write it down in your 100pp spiral notebook with 8" x 10-1/2" ruled sheets and the stunning wildlife photo from National Geographic on the front that you got two of, with different covers even, for an almost ridiculous price from those nice American Science & Surplus people and don't even think about using class time to fool around with those (14) funny but sort of stupid joke stickers that came inside the notebook.

A twofer from Helix®. Their combo is a 2-3/8" dia x 13/16" thick disk. Half is a big (replaceable) eraser, the other side is a clear housing to hold the shavings that fall into it from the pencil sharpener on the edge. We're thinking traveling graphic artist, or any kid's school bag.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Groups of bright and smiley zoo animals appear on all of these school supplies. The cartoony characters decorate the 8-1/2" x 4-1/2" zippered pencil case, eraser and manual sharpener, and 6" ruler, if not the pencil. We think first graders will like them -- at least until they find out it's a jungle in there.

We love obsessives. Mike Rigsby, author of Amazing Rubber Band Cars (124pp, soft cover) has spent way too much time designing and building rubber band cars. His book has designs for (13) rubber band cars, all built from simple materials (cardboard, pencils, a few CDs, and the eponymous rubber bands) and made for speed, distance, or goofiness. Well-illustrated, with easy-to-follow directions, it culminates with a giant, you-can-sit-in-it car that he swears will work. Send us a picture.
