I don’t claim to have ever been a tomboy.  But I’ve caught toads, climbed trees, and visited the sites of three of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.  I love learning and adventure, and despite the gender specificity of the title, that’s what “The Dangerous Book For Boys” is all about.

Boca Beth: Here’s What They’re Saying So Far

Of course, we speak English (on the good days), but many of us see the value of learning another language but are unsure as to how to raise our children that way.
