Girls Daring - Publisher Not So Much

The Daring Book For Girls is a big hit in the U.S.A.

But Deb Ross has turned up disturbing news. The Australian version encourages girls to play the didgeridoo. It's a musical instrument played by Australian aborigines.

Only males are allowed to play it. Among the Aborigines, that is. But the authors encourage girls to give it a try. How dare they!

The publisher will remove the offending chapter.

I hope the Saudi Daring Book For Girls
suggests they give driving and voting a whirl.
