I bought this book for my 16 month old grandchild, on the strength of the reviews given so far. It was a big hit from the first reading and soon became a favourite. She too loves to get to the bit when she can light up the moon and stars. Seeing her response has given me as much pleasure as she gets from reading it!

Buying this book doesn't imply you are inadequate!
Totally unlike a TV show which aims to change parenting by whipping stupid, dull or uncaring parents into shape, this book is perfect for smart, funny and friendly adults who want MORE (both NEW and TRADITIONAL) games, facts, jokes, activities and ideas that appeal to kids and the kid in all of us. Also, it's useful to have a compendium of dad stuff in one place.
I'm interested in how this compares to other books, e.g. to the Dangerous Book for Boys, which sounds a little similar, but which maybe appeals to nostalgia in adults themselves, hence its title. Title wise, Dad Stuff is the winner. If you have a dad yourself or are buying a book for one with a child, it is a very ... Read More:

I love this book used by both my 4 and 8 year old. They can be left alone to complete the pictures using the sticky tape which peels of easily if they make a mistake and can be re applied. No crayons included so make sure you have some handy for finishing the pictures. Safe as requires no scissors the tape rips easily and no mess from glue. Great activity to keep them quiet on long journeys.

This is a wonderfully informative lift the flap book for boys aged 3-8years. The book gives detailed drawn pictures of castles, their development, inside of and castles today with lots of interesting little cameos to keep spotting. There are characters for the children to spot including Lord Simon, Tiggs the cat and Lady Eleanor plus funny incidents to muse over, creating lots of talking points for you and your child. My son, and a number of his friends have this book and its brought out time and time again to be explored and enjoyed. Highly recommended, especially for those budding knights!

Great book - I heartily endorse the other reviews. But....as my daughter loved it so much I bought other pop-up books by Kate Petty including The Amazing Pop-Up Geography Book which turned out to be the same book under a different name. Do not be taken in.

I too have owned this book for nearly thirty years - my first and still favourite, pop-up book ...EVER! With SO many hidden treasures - its the one book that all my young visitors enjoy to look through, again and again. I flinch as they clumsily tug on the pull bits or turn the pages with just a little too much enthusiam, hoping they won't spoil it, but it has stood the test of time, both in enjoyment and wearability - quality all round!!
