Great book for girls growing up going through puberty and changes. Talks about health and upkeep of the female body. Good tool to use to show girls during a time when their bodies are changing. This is a book for a little older girls.

A wonderful book for the pre-teen girl and the many questions she may have about herself and her life. Addressing hygiene as well as bodily changes, matter of factly but tastefully. The simple drawings help make it light hearted and natural, which helps make possibly embarrassing questions not so

embarrassing, such as getting her period. I would say this is almost a must have for any parent of a soon to be teenage girl. Show Less

This is a good reference for parents who are uncomfortable with what to say when talking to their daughter about body issues.

This book is good for girls 9+(usually around 16 or 17). It teaches how to eat properly, how your body changes, how to treat your skin in the summer, sleep habits, and other important facts of being a preteen/teen. HIGHLY recommended.

Very good and helpful.

This is a difficult subject to find books on that don’t have more information than you might want.
So far I don’t like that this is including many examples of insults tweens might use. Such as “tin grin” and “pizza face”. Who even is saying this?
On page 51 a girl says her friends think
Why introduce this kind of thinking?
I think this format is good as a checklist.
It looks unthreatening which could be a comfort to girls crossing over to puberty.
The section on diet reflects the mindset of when it was written. Definitely pre-read this. As some advice is good(almonds) some is..less so(soy).
You need to use discernment with this book. I would not just hand it over-tempting as it may be.
So why do I have this?
It is not anti-family. There are no examples of the current cultural difficulties.
No one book will be perfect because this is meant to be an aid- not to take the place of the parent. It’s not bad as a guide/checklist.
