Review: It's a girl Thing is a good book, I'm from philly and growing up around here you have to know thinghs because some boys are no good.

Summary: My Bible
Review: It's a Girl Thing is the best book I have ever read. It explains about the body as well as other things, such as buying your first bra to birth control, in a funny sort of way. It will leave girls feeling safe and in control. Great for both mothers and daughters!

Summary: A fantastic, informative and reassuring books for pre-teens
Review: Looking back now as a freshman in high school, I realize that I absolutely LOVED this book was I was some around the age of a 5th or 6th grader. I would lie in bed at night, reading it behind the covers with the lights turned down low, taking in every word Jukes had to say. Now why, you may ask, would a girl want to read this book so many times over? The answer: I was immensely curious about all these subjects, and Juke's anecdotes and person stories made the book particularly engaging! Her stories range from a falsies popping out in the swimming pool disaster to the day she got her first period. She covers topics ranging from pubic hair, to fitting a bra, to what to do if you get your period at school. The only real weakness of this book is the fact that it doesn't have any diagrams, such as what a uterus looks like etc., which I find important in getting a good understanding of exactly what everything looks like. However, this in an excellent book, and I recommend it to all preteen girls curious about puberty, and all mother's with girls reaching their preteens. I do have to warn you about one thing though, this book also covers topics such as "Know the Facts: Drinking Smoking, and Doing Drugs, Sex and Pregnancy, Condoms, and Unplanned Pregnancy." which could be slightly heavy topics for a 4th, 5th or even immature 6th grader. If you would rather you child learn just the basics, the first four chapters of this book (Beasts and Bras, Introducing...Your Period!, Your Period-How to Handle It, and "General Health-Checkups, Counseling, and Crisis Hotlines") are offered in a separate book, called "Growing Up It's a Girl Thing : Straight Talk About First Bras, First Periods, and Your Changing Body". This is a fantastic book though, and I would definitely recommend it to any girls wishing to learn more about their pre-puberty bodies or their parents.

Review: My friend and I read this book together and we both thought it was great. Even though we had already studied human sexuality that year, it still told us some things we would have to know that our teacher didn't tell us, such as bra sizes.

Summary: PARENTAL WARNING!
Review: Please be aware that this book contains very explicit information about every topic of sexual nature. Read this book yourself before giving it to your child. It discusses oral sex, anal sex, how to use and purchase condoms, masturbation (for girls and boys), etc. When the author discusses Exploring Your Own Sexuality, she says that if she had known about masturbating sooner she would have straighter teeth, as she would have stopped sucking her thumb. The cover of this book gives no clue to the depth of information covered within. It is in no way appropriate for a girl under the age of twelve. For many parents even the age of twelve would be inappropriate.

Review: This book came at a time of necessity for my daughter whose body is now changing. It is all put in a way as girlfriend-to-girlfriend advice and very helpful for the young. Jukes gives life experience moments, which make the acceptance part of puberty easier. I love the humor and of course that opens you up to talk about your experiences with your daughter. I think it should be included with the fourth and fifth grade school supplies. No surprises! Buy it, you'll be glad you did!

Summary: So Down To Earth
Review: This book is great! It is so good, the author tells the storys from her childhood, so you can relate. And talks about problems and how to handle them.(abuse, harassment, ect.) The books takes you from A to Z of the girl's body, and explains what, how, and why things are changing. (breast, your figure, puberty, pubic hair, ect.) She also gives you the slang/nicknames things have. And it also explains what guys are going threw.
