Summary: great book for pre-teens
Comment: "The Care and Keeping of You." What a great book for young girls. Covers everything they should know. Even though Mom has already talked about most of these things, its' written in language young girls can understand. Good pictures. My grand-daughter just loved this book. I suggest this book for all preteens.

Summary: Pediatrician recommended!
Comment: Our ped recommended this book at my daughter's 10 yr old check up. She loves it, refers to it often, so it was worth buying. It became gold when she began her period - and was not at all embarrassed to talk to me about it and share what she learned from this book! I have told all my friends with girls in this age range. Daughters don't always listen to mothers, so having back up in writing is awesome! Also just bought Am Gril book for starting middle school. She also loves this book and is so glad to have a "handbook" for beginning middle school in the Fall.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Too little info on female anatomy
Comment: I skimmed this book and was not very impressed. It lacks information (review the statements by actual kids that were negative) It seems many people are afraid to give the basic facts, and so they buy a book like this that doesnt explain why their bodies get periods. When I was 9 and far from interest in sexual activity, my mother gave me the basics of how my female body works and the very basic mechanics of how babies are made...which if one is not made, a period comes about. A basic female anatomy book and some products in a nice green box which I kept under my bed for my reference. She didnt go into boyfriends, std's, oral or alternative life styles...none of that has to do with girls getting their periods. It has been difficult to find just the basic facts book...but this isnt it...still researching.

Summary: It depends...overall great book!
Comment: Hi,
My grandmother bought this book for me when I was around 10 or 11, the book then was very exciting to me, even though the topics about brushing your teeth, and your hair, we already know. But Anyone from ages 9-12 should read this book, yeah it has some cheesy sayings but if you are just looking for a book about periods, emotions, feelings, your body this is a great book, I am 12 year old now and me and my friend that is three years older than me find this book helpful, but it depends on you and your child I suppose, if it is really mature for it's age I would consider a book that has more advanced topics, but this book is great! It teaches about knowing you are, and not buying in to those spam weight lose programs, lots of girls face this, after seeing hundreds of models they think only "real" people look like that, but really everybody is beautiful! I would recommend this book any day!!!!

BUY IT

Summary: Fantastic book for girls!!! A must read.
Comment: I purchased this book for my 8 year old daughter and she loves this book. This book covered every area of the female body in a very delicate manner. The book is broken up in 5 sections.
Heads up- hair, face, teeth, etc;
Reach- hands, underarm, breasts, etc;
Belly Zone- shapes, food, nutrition etc;
Big changes- PMS, "girl changes", etc; and
On the Go- legs, feet, sports, sleep etc.
This book gave us mom and daughter time to read, ask questions and try out some of the tips. If you are having difficulty discussing the "changes" your daughter is going through then you really need this book. A great way to cover everything. Since we enjoyed the book so much I just purchased the American Girl book on Feelings.
Thanks. Martha
