The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2 (Klutz)

Excellent

I originally purchased the Encyclopedia of Immaturity V1 for my nephew but it was such a hit with both adults and kids that it ended up making the rounds instead. When Volume 2 came up for sale I knew I had to get it but wasn't sure if it would "make the cut". So often it seems the first volume is the best and the rest is just added on to ride on the fame of the original. No so with this one!First, the thin page problem mentioned by many reviewers in the first volume is fixed in this one. Pages are substantially thicker - although that leads to fewer total tips. However the quality of the tips is as good - if not better - than the original. Same silly jokes, fun but young "tricks" and an abundance of totally meaningless activiites sure to delight everyone.Cover is the same material as the first, very nice and thick. Pages are thicker with glossy sheen made to last longer and wording is in keeping with all the Klutz products (of which we have purchased several including the airplanes, art-rageous projects, museum in a book, Do Not Open this Book, Maze, Bubbles and many others! Each and every one is a huge hit with everyone!).My younger brother (nearly 40) loved this as did our nephew, 11 year old neighbor and everyone in between. Fun stuff! Perfect gift for younger siblings of any age or kids over for a visit.

A gift to a nephew who liked the book and was caught reading it at school by his teacher. This led to a conversation about maturity and how do you know you are there…?? I gave it a high value because of the impact it had on my nephew as I did not read it. It is a challenge to respond to requests to rate books when you give them as gifts - you can only respond based on what others say about it.

My son has had the 1st edition for a while now and its gotten a lot of use he was excited to see the new one come out. This one is holding his interest as well. He brouses through it at night, has done several of the pranks and when his friends come over they look at it together and compare notes. The book is sturdy and can handle many falls, careless flips through pages and handling by multiple hands at once. Easy instructions and just silly good natured stuff.

Gave as a gift to a friend's son, along with the first volume. He loved it. Great gift. Very silly. Innocent. Good, clean fun. Tough to find these days.
