Product Description
When Klutz published The Encyclopedia of Immaturity in 2007, they knew it would make a great gift for someone's nephew. And, sure enough, people gave it to their nephews but also to their grandparents, brothers-in-law and accountants. Soon they were flooded with letters, e-mails and calls sharing one common theme ""More! More! More!"" So here's a second helping of skills, activities, and secret knowledge suitable only for those whose maturity stopped developing around the age of 12. In addition to thought-provoking topics like What We Talk About When We Talk About Wedgies, the book includes detailed directions for how to: fake a cold, slide down a banister, balance a ping pong ball on your nose, send a toiletgram, throw a sloshie, and more. It's all new and all hopelessly goofy. For years we've felt like the only kids at the grown-up table. Now it turns out the world is populated by a lot more people who are lot less mature than they look. Well, duh!

Best Yet! Approved by Kids and Adults Alike! August 10, 2009

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.

I read a very short magazine review of the book and thought it would be a fun present for my husband. He dove into it immediately and has enjoyed it immensely. Teenagers of any age will enjoy it.

PERFECT book for kids of all ages. I gave it to my ten year old and he laughed out loud, shared the tricks with friends and family, carried it to school, loaned it to friends....really piqued his imagination and sense of fun. Great to see him get away from video games and use his ( exceptional!) noggin for magic tricks and silly pranks! I feel this book makes a wonderful birthday gift ! Lisa in CT
Advice for antics and general hilarity October 1, 2009

Kiwi Magazine Review:
The first Encyclopedia of Immaturity was stellar, we're not sure how Klutz managed to come up with even more antics, anecdotes and advice. For example, some people subtly adjust to fix a wedgie, but this book encourages everyone to fly their underwear flag and discuss the wild world of wedgies (self-inflicted or from a naughty brother). I thought of dozens of people who would really appreciate this book and I wished something this important had been published in my childhood so I could have been informed about the right way to convince my mom that I was really too sick for school. Every. Single. Monday. Shenanigans are the new manners. The age range for the book is a complete farce (it says 9-12); I can think of numerous 50+ males who will have root beer coming out of their noses when they read this.
A Blast. November 17, 2009

This book is a blast. It is full of father-sons kind of pranks and projects. What dad wouldn't enjoy making the "world's best paper airplane," along with his son? It is peppered with jokes and beginner magic projects. I read a lot with my 8 year old son, but this book is far and away the one he enjoys most. Buy it. You'll be glad you did.
