Do It Now! Tricks: Rad Stunts And Sneaky Pranks

Far from your annoying uncle's collection of bad jokes and pranks, "Do Rad Tricks!" captures young readers' imaginations with its zany, just-for-kids ideas, bright artwork, and easy-to-rock-out instructions. Authors Sarah Hines Stephens and Bethany Mann know a thing or two about goofing off--they've got kids of their own to learn from!--and they've collected the best into this volume of 80 activities ranging from faking zombie makeup to boobytrapping a bathroom, from rollerskating backward to running a ninja obstacle course. Kids'll be thrilled-and parents'll be amused--with "Do Rad Tricks!" This book contains two chapters--one of hilarious pranks and stunts, and one of active, outdoors activities to get kids moving--that update the stale, tried-and-true magic tricks and overdone pranks with fresh, modern, and above all fun activities for the next generation.
