Girl Stuff: A Survival Guide to Growing Up

Rating:
Summary: Good Stuff!
Review: I bought "Girl Stuff" for my twelve year old niece and she loved it! The book is full of helpful information that all girls want and need to know. It is written with pre-teens in mind but doesn't speak down to them. The smart, whimsical illustrations really create a lighthearted tone to the most awkward teen subjects.

Summary: Ages 9-12---NEVER
Review: I was really shocked when I started browsing this book before I gave it to my 11 yr old. This is absolutely NOT appropriate for the age group that it is listed for. I think this is possibly ok for a 16 yr old.
Whatever you do, read it yourself before you give it to your daughter-or else you will be in for a ton of questions-that you may not have bargained for.

Summary: Informative and Entertaining
Review: If you have a daughter currently going through puberty, this isthe book to give her. It's factual and fun, but doesn't talk down tokids. The illustrations are very well done, and go a long way towards making the book "hip" enough for today's kids, while still being informative. A+!

Summary: Recommended ages 8-12? yeah, right!
Review: Of course the book contained the usual about periods, anatomy and bras, birth control & STD's. Then it goes into "could I be gay?" Details of orgasam and masturbation (in my opinion encouraging it), The real shocker was when the book gets into talking about foreplay and even has a section discussing anal sex! Is this book for real? I purchased this book for my 9 year old and thank God I flipped through it first! My friend wouldnt even give it to her 15 yr old! I wouldnt consider this book unless your child is over age 16! I was embarrassed that I bought it!

Summary: Illustrator's Mom rates this book
Review: This book came to my attention because my daughter, Barbara,did the illustrations. I have both a 16 year old and a 7 year old Granddaughter , we asked the older one to read the book and comment and she liked it VERY much. Thought it was very informative without talking down to the young person. The 7 year old will get a chance to read it soon.Of course we've passed the book around the family and Barbara's siblings and their spouses agreed that the illustrations were terrific and they liked the text very much. While I was reading it I took it to all my appointments and many people asked me about the book and took down the name so they could order it for their daughter, niece, granddaughter. They were all impressed with the writing as well as the pictures!

Summary: Great for any teen...
Review: This book is really great to read if you're a pre-teen/teen that has some embarassing questions about "girl stuff". This is a must for any girl who wants to know it all!

Summary: down to earth
Review: This book is very down to earth. I bought this book for my girl who will not read anything that is not clear or to the point. She found it very easy to understand and it helped her through growing up. If your a mother who wants to help your child through growing up without having that nerve recking talk by this book. If you still want to have that talk this is a great guide for both parent and daughter.
