| A great read for fans! |
When Bear Grylls' new book arrived in the post - a few kids who were over for a play-date with my Only Child ran over and yelled, "It's Bear. It's Bear!".... after looking through the pages the six and seven year olds realized that every page wasn't a picture, and then subsequently carried on with their games outside.
Bear Grylls - adventuring star of The Discovery Channel's Man Vs Wild series - has written a great book about his childhood and his subsequent progress to global survival stardom!

| Easy to read! |
There are so many anecdotes and stories Grylls shares with his readers - from girls, to high school, to meeting his wife. But what we found the most interesting was his chapters on his SAS trials and tribulations. This is definitely a book for a Bear Grylls fan - who is at least 12 years old.
There are a good amount of pictures in it - some great ones of Bear when he was a young lad. Who knew he went to Eton???
What was most curious and fantastic is that Bear 'saved' his sister Lara from a life of Only Childom... His sister Lara recounts how lonely she was growing up as the Only Child, and how she had complained to her Mum and Dad that she was lonely...
I really do recommend this book to Bear Grylls fans, and to all those young teen kids who are inspired by the outdoors and exploration. Grylls teaches kids to stand up for their beliefs and to keep going!

Tongue-in-cheek or foot-in-mouth! No experts, just Mums and Dads, and Only Children. So say something!
