How To Talk To Girls By Alec Greven

by Alec Greven, illustrated by Kei Acedera

Product Description

Are you smart enough to take over a girl's heart?
Leave it to a nine-year-old to get down to the basics about how to win victory with a girl. How to talk to girls is for boys of all ages—from eight to eighty—and the girls they like. So read this book and then you're ready. Good luck!
Tips:
Comb your hair and don't wear sweats
Control your hyperness (cut down on the sugar if you have to)
Don't act desperate

What I Can Tell You:
This is the cutest book ever. The author who is 9 years old gives sound advice that at times seems a bit much especially when he says that you should go after "regular looking girls" because pretty girls are "coldhearted". 
Other than that, I think the book is sweet especially when he tells kids that if you like a girl and she doesn't like you, you should just move on.  I couldn't agree more. I have a young friend who is in the beginning stages of high school and recently had some moments of sadness because of the opposite sex. I would love to give him my copy of this book.

Other advice in the book is: Don't wear sweats and comb your hair. I totally have to agree with him on this one. These are all things I personally don't like on a guy. Sweats are for your house and please, messy hair? What is up with that?



Thanks to Harper Collins Children's Books for sending a complimentary copy to write my review.
