Good info, but some graphic details included...

This is a good book filled with some great information. I purchased it intending to open up discussions about her body with my 8 year old daughter, who has had some of "those" questions lately. There is a lot of great stuff, HOWEVER, I was quite shocked when I discovered the picture (cartoon-ish,...

Great Book

This is a wonderful book for girls entering puberty and those already in their teens. My girls ages 14 and 8 have gotten a lot of information from it and it has lead to discussions about even more. I highly recommend this book to anyone with girls.

This book provides much detail across all areas of growing up. It is not easy to figure out the best timing for giving this to your daughter. Mine is almost 10 and has many physical signs of puberty except for her actual period. She was very upset that I presented her with the book and I...

Good for 9-10 years old ...

... but that also depends on your child.I heard a lot of recommendations for this book, and I checked it out of the library as well to look over it myself first. It is listed as for ages 8-12. I feel most of the book is geared towards the younger end, 9 or 10 years old. It talks a lot about...

I bought this book for my 8 year old daughter but read it first myself. There is a lot of good info in terms of general care and keeping of your body. There's a lot to be said for giving a young girl that type of ownership. That said, I haven't given her the book yet. I know that every kid is...
