The Handy Girls Can Fix It!: 2008 Edition

Meet the Handy Girls - Angie, Sibby, Tiffany, Kate & Jan - as they work together in their fix-it shop to help friends and neighbors. Whether they're repairing a broken bike, painting an old doghouse, or building a scarecrow for someone's garden, The Handy Girls Can Fix It! When Angie's little brother Bobby breaks his mom's cookie jar and takes it to the fix-it shop to be put back together, he and his friend Max decide they want to hang around the Handy Girls all the time. But, as little boys sometimes do, they accidentally get into mischief by sitting on a freshly-painted chair or spilling lemonade on the new curtains. When the Handy Girls make a rule that the boys can only be at the fix-it shop if they have something that needs repairing, the boys think of a way around this "rule." In the end, the Handy Girls feel badly and surprise the boys by building them their very own clubhouse made from a big carton.

5Great Role Models!  May 06, 2008
The Handy Girls Can Fix It!: 2008 Edition

The "Handy Girls" promote pure girl power! The book reveals how girls and boys can gain a sense of pride and accomplishment through active and creative play -- and shows the value of helping others through teamwork!


5I'm the co-creator of Handy Girls!  Dec 27, 2006
I'm so glad to see that both of the "Handy Girls" books are still available. It's unbelievable that our $1.99 book is selling for over $50! We're hoping to get the books published online and will let all "Handy Girls" fans know the progress! Thank you so much for continuing to support this ahead-of-its-time concept for girls. We believe it's still as viable today as it was 20 years ago!

4Great Alternative Roles for Girls Ages 8-12  Mar 31, 2000
The Handy Girls came out in the 70's, before the Babysitter'sClub books. This book involves a (multicultural) group of girls thatforms a club to fix things. Some paint, some build doghouses, andthey get satisfaction helping people by working with their hands. Drawings are a little dated, like textbooks drawings of the 60's and 70's, but the spirit is totally modern - it's great to see a children's book where the girls are self-directed and down-to-earth.
