    Someone's "Dad's Book of okay projects"
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014*

I've rewritten this review a few times because expressing the sentiment as to why I've rated it 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 stars without insulting the author or the work is a bit challenging. So now to explain; the book itself expresses, in my opinion, some great core values. Some include things like teaching your kids to use tools for drilling, measuring, etc.. as well as other ideas like empowering your children to go ahead and do things instead of conditioning them to believe they cannot do anything not their own or always being afraid they may get hurt. The idea of becoming independent and resourceful is what i like best about the book.The idea of building comic book shoes, garden trolleys or my own backyard swing set just isn't 'my dad style. My thinking makes it hard to find value in these simple ideas however my thought for this is that the content is not original or worthy of a book. If I wanted to do these things I'd simply search online for a DIY type approach for building a swing or a Seesaw.  Again though.. the idea that the author is encouraging people in todays world to build a swing by hand with their child is exceptional…. because too many parents would, in today's society, buy a swing set from a big box store, have someone assemble it and then have the nanny watch their kid play on while they sat inside on the internet...This book may be good for someone that doesn't have access to the internet or someone that wants to build things that may have been built in the 50s such as a fruit crate scooter, DIY Jackson Pollock, a birdhouse,etc… The reason that I will not use this book is because the ideas are not 'originals', with the exception of a few, and because of that it makes completing any of these tasks almost too scripted; even if they are only sharing the idea. I personally think that coming up with an idea originally or taking a moment when something can be institutionalized is what makes the project worth it. What I am trying to say is if I want to build a bird house I'll do so by teaching my son how to 'find out how' to build a bird house and there will be a reason.. not get a book and start reading it. My son, in my opinion, will not find as much knowledge in me reading from a book as he will from seeing how one goes about learning to do something before doing it. Nor will my son see me as an innovative, creative and outside the box thinker. I believe it is important for him to see 'original' thought on the spot so that he knows it can be done…seeing me retrieve a book is not nearly the same.I am creative in my thinking (even created patents) so I may have misinterpreted the goal of the author here. I was however hopeful to come across some ideas that were going to be 'new' and 'clever'. Things that involved innovation and ingenuity to get my son thinking outside of the box. Things that my son and I would share that have not been shared with the masses throughout history. These ideas are preexisting ideas that everyone and their auntie have done for years (most of them). I want to take cardboard boxes and build my son a robot suit, I want to decorate a laundry basket to look like a car and pull my son around the yard using an attached belt, I want to have my son build a time capsule that includes images of his friends, family and thoughts written down, their own code for writing letters, etc..Again, my interpretation of this book is that it is too simple and limited to add to the book shelf. The ideas are ones that anyone with some creativity could ascertain on their own or using the internet.I hate to give this such a confusing review, however, a book review is subjective. Unfortunately; I was disappointed after giving the book a quick review. I've shared this information in the hopes of enhancing potential consumer's knowledge of what the book includes.The author nails it by reinforcing the idea that a parent should spend time with their children and empower them to conquer tasks and overcome obstacles…

"Dad's Book of Awesome Projects" is exactly that -- a collection of craft projects that aren't cutesy. No memory books here. He'll show you how to make a seesaw. Circus stilts. A terrarium. A scooter.A cape shirt. Holy s***, a sweeeeet cape shirt.All the projects are pretty darn affordable, so it's perfect for families still recovering or adjusting to post-Great Recession life. So you can't take the family to Cabo once a year anymore. Big deal. Maybe you can't buy them the latest XBox right when it comes out. Good. Go pay attention to each other. Show your growing kids the joy of creating something out of almost nothing. Show them how to solve problems. They'll value these projects as much as any vacation.
