Summary: Excellent Mom and Daughter Experience
Review: I got this book for my 8 year old daughter's birthday. A good friend suggested it and I'm glad she did. My daughter and I spent an evening reading through the book front to back. I loved the way the book flowed, the way it was segmented. The book helped me share some of my own experiences with her about when I grew up and we giggled and laughed throughout because, lets face it, going through puberty can be pretty funny. What a wonderful way to introduce my young lady to all that is in store for her in a straitforward, honest and open manner. I remember the awkward way in which I was introduced to the upcoming changes and I truly wish that this book was around 25 years ago! Thank you to AmericanGirl Library!

Summary: Excellent book
Review: I think all parents of young girls should get them this book. It's a wonderful book. I bought it for my daughter and we read it together. It really helped her understand puberty and since we read it together she felt very open to asking me all sorts of questions about things the book may not have covered.

Summary: This book has been wonderful for my daughter
Review: This book is wonderful for my eight-year-old daughter. She and her friends sit around and read it. I am going to buy one for all my neices for Christmas. It really opens them up to talking about the changes a girl faces growing up - and if they are afraid to talk about anything, atleast they have a place to find their answers. It is written in language a pre-teen can understand. I wish this book was around when I was a kid!

Summary: A solid introduction to puberty and taking care of yourself
Review: I got this book when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I read it, and it answered many of the questions I had about growing up. This book, while not as detailed as "The What's Happening To My Body: Book For Girls", is a great introduction to puberty and it includes valuable advice and information on taking care of yourself. This book is in a "head-to-toe" format, starting at hair and going all the way down to feet. The book also explains the changes puberty will bring; such as: your period, breasts, pubic hair, body hair, acne, and more. Also included is helpful advice on choosing a bra, choosing from tampons or pads, shaving, and the book also gives you complete instructions for applying tampons complete with illustrations. The book includes many letters from girls with questions on growing up and taking care of yourself, with answers to each one. This is a great book for all girls who are just about or are going through puberty. Highly recommended!

Summary: I loved this book!!!
Review: Before I read this I read a different book about growing up and I knew most of the basics. But this told me MORE then I already knew. I had no idea what Bulimia, and acne were and I barely knew what Anorexia and PMS were. Now I am confident, prepared, and in-the-know. If yoou are a parent buying this book for your daughter you should not have any doubts! This is very good! I recommend it for girls ages 9-12.

Summary: a great beginning book for every pre-teen girl
Review: i ordered this book for my 9 1/2 year old daughter as a beginning tool to discuss the changes that would be taking place...she absolutely loved it....upon receiving the book i was impressed by the easy to read fomat and fun pictures...my daughter read alomost 1/4 of the book the first day and we discussed any questions she had...i would absolutley recommend this to any mom that wants a book that is informative yet not too complicated ( as many books go into much more detail and sex talk which I do not think a 9 year old needs)...an absolute winner in my book as well as in my daughter's!!!
