This handy book shows children how to do the really important things that every child needs to know, from surfing the Internet safely to roasting the perfect marshmallow. Simple step-by-step instructions cover all manner of interesting and useful subjects, including getting along with the grown-up world (setting the table, writing thank-you notes); being a good pal (how to cheer up a friend, how to keep a secret); real-world safety tips (approaching a strange dog, dealing with bullies); just plain fun (the ultimate piggyback ride, choosing it, building a snow fort); and everything in between (surviving on a desert island, how to meet and greet royalty).
