ANYTHING BOYS CAN DO...

South Orange, N.J.

Fortunately, those who love The Dangerous Book for Boys despite its casual sexism will have a better girls' alternative than the rather Victorian The Great Big Glorious Book for Girls [Katha Pollitt, "Subject to Debate," July 9]. The true companion book is called The Daring Book for Girls, by Andrea Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz (whom I represent) coming this fall, and it will be every bit as fun and adventurous as its predecessor. It may not counter the Anglo- imperial martial spirit of the boys' book, but it will still do a lot to level the playing field.
