9 Year Old Writes How-To Dating Book

Thursday December 4, 2008

What started as a pamphlet created for his school's book fair has metamorphosized into a 46-page hardcover published by HarperCollins. In "How To Talk To Girls," nine year old Alec Grevin talks about how "pretty girls are like like cars that need a lot of oil," and "If I say hi and you say hi back, we're probably off to a pretty good start."

A fourth-grader who readily admits to crushing on a girl in preschool, Grevin was discovered after being introduced to his now-publisher by Ellen Degeneris after she interviewed him on her talk show. Appearing wise well beyond his years, Grevin admitted on the show that he's too young for a relationship, saying his data and suggestions were culled from the playground and his voracious reading habits.

What do you think about "How To Talk to Girls"? Would you buy it? Why or why not?
