- It depends...overall great book!
Hi,
My grandmother bought this book for me when I was around 10 or 11, thebook then was very exciting to me, even though the topics about brushing your teeth, and your hair, we already know. But Anyone from ages 9-12 should read this book, yeah it has some cheesy sayings but if you are just looking for a book about periods, emotions, feelings, your body this is a great book, I am 12 year old now and me and my friend that is three years older than me find this book helpful, but it depends ...

I purchased this book for my 8 year old daughter and she loves this book.This book covered every area of the female body in a very delicate manner.The book is broken up in 5 sections.
Heads up- hair, face, teeth, etc;
Reach- hands, underarm, breasts, etc;
Belly Zone- shapes, food, nutrition etc;
Big changes- PMS, "girl changes", etc; and
On the Go- legs, feet, sports, sleep etc.
This book gave us mom and daughter time to read, ask questions and try ... Read More

This was a fantastic book for my 10 year old daughter.It was recommended to me by a friend and I ordered it right away!My daughter read it from front to back.She appeared to really relate to what she was reading, enjoy learning about what to expect and gain a better awareness of herself by asking several really great questions!I would highly recommend buying this book for any pre-teenage girl!

- Good, but not for young people
I must say I liked this book, it was good for me at age 11, but before that I didn't need all that "period" "Breasts" and "Puberty" talk . I read it with my sister when I was nine. My sister (who was 13 at the time) skipped over the pages I shouldn't read. I suggest (to any parent reading this review) to read it beforehand, and then read it with your daughter. You can skip over any parts you don't find appropriate for their age. It can also be a good ice breaker for conversation starters about the ... Read More
Rating: - GREAT BOOK!!!
I have a 10 year old daughter who I bought this book for.She read the book front to back in two days.This book helped her feel comfortable with the changes she is about to go through.She is a 4th grader and had to watch the puberty movie and she was so excited when she got home because she knew everything that was on the movie.She said that she even knew more.It was great because she isn't confused about what she is going through and if she isn't comfortable talking about it with me she reads ...
