Summary: A wonderful guide.
Review: Someone suggested this book to me when my daughter was about eight. I bought it and read it. It was important for me to get comfortable with the subject matter before I could introduce it to my child. The scariest thing was what do I (or should I) say to her? When she started asking questions, we would pull out "the book". After reading about a particular subject, we would then talk about it and share our thoughts. It was just the sections that involved her questions. At first, I held on to the book and when I thought she was ready, I handed it over to her. Reading this book was as valuable to me as it was to my daughter. She is almost 14 and SHE tells people about this book.

Summary: A great book about puberty
Review: The real strength of this book is that it emphasises the changing body during puberty rather than adult sexuality (information which I provided as appropriate from other sources). There were things in the book that I had completely forgotten from my own experience! My daughter is so much less preoccupied with sex than I was at her age, and I'm convinced that her access to this kind of information has contributed to her healthy attitude.

Summary: ALL A YOUNG GIRL NEEDS IN A BOOK ABOUT BECOMING A WOMAN
Review: This book covers every topic a girl is curious about as she enters puberty, (a few she might not be curious about yet, but will need to know about BEFORE she is twelve. With children becoming sexually active at 13 and not knowing how easily a girl become pregnant and teen AIDS on the rise--this is information that every girl needs to have. Buit are parents ready to let them have it before they need it, so they can be prepared to make informed choices and know why NO is the correct answer???

Summary: ONLY FOR PARENTS WHO WANT THEIR DAUGHTERS WELL INFORMED
Review: This book has draeings and diagrams and honest language about body changes and sexuality and it answers many questions that most 9-14 year old girls are thinking. (Many don't ask because they are either too shy or too afraid). Warning, if you think giving children information is going to cause them to be sexually active, don't buy this book. Because it has all the information a preteen could want.

Summary: Helpful, but not too entertaining
Review: this book helps many girls i believe but for some reason it didn't really help me as much as my other books. it's more about health than reasurance about growing up. although it's very truthful and older girls would probably enjoy it more, it just didn't really help me or interest me. although it could be that i just didn't really like it, i get the feeling that many other girls may feel the same way.

Summary: The best guide about puberty ever!
Review: This book is a complete, up-to-date book about all the changes a girl goes through during puberty. It is an extremely helpful resource covering topics such as breasts, body hair and odor, getting your period, acne and skin care, romantic and sexual feelings, taking care of your body during puberty, and much more. The book helps you make guesses on things like when you will start puberty or get your period. Also, this book features over 50 drawings to explain nearly all the topics. Not only that, but the book is filled with qoutes from real girls and women who explain what it was like for them to go through all these changes and how they felt about it. You'll also get advice and info. on what type of pads or tampons are right for you, different diseases such as AIDS, eating disorders, signs that you will get your period soon, and much more. Included in the back of the book are resources, websites, and phone numbers for girls going through puberty and other changes. This book is a must-have for all girls going through puberty, and one of the only guides that explains EVERYTHING you need to know. (If you're a boy, or a parent of one, you'll probably like "The What's Happening To My Body: Book for Boys, also written by the same authors.)

Summary: a MUST for any girl willing to read
Review: This book is great. It teaches you almost anything you need to know. I've not learned anything in any of those classes in school or Health that isn't touched on in this book. Actually, there are things in this book they didn't tell me at school and I would have never known.This book helped me understand whats going on with my woman body and therefore made me understand myself and made me strong and smart.

Summary: Beware!
Review: This book is way too graphic for younger kids. It may be okay for girls ages 13 and up. There is way too much about sex and too many graphic pictures. Stay away from this book! Do not take chances.
