Boys will be boys. Unfortunately, they will also be arsonists, wrecking balls, flooders, and eight-limbed ninjas of destruction. It is their nature. With photos pulled from the 1950s on, this book celebrates the wacky, illogical, dangerous, and ridiculous things boys do. Parents everywhere will laugh in recognition at each bit of mischief and misadventure-all proof that boys really do need parents.

Alex Beckerman parents a boy in Austin, Texas.
