No Sex Talk Here

This is a great book for girls on the younger end of puberty. It tells them everything they need to know about how their bodies are changing but doesn't go into the talk about sex that most girls this age aren't ready for. I like that it treats the information in a straight-forward manner and presents potentially embarrassing elements as no big deal. What I like about this book compared to the American Girls book, is that this book also talks about the social aspects of growing up--bullies, changing relationships, friends, that kind of thing. It does mention boys, but only as friends and--someday--boyfriends. Overall, I would highly recommend this for the (mature) 8-year-old to the average 14-year-old. Another nice aspect of this book are the quotes from the real girls. They can go a long way toward helping a tween realize she isn't alone in all this puberty stuff.

Great!

My daughter couldn't wait to get this book...she was very curious to read it....and now that she's got it she can't put it down....this books was so helpful and we got it fairly quickly. THANKS!!!!

A great book for girls 11 and older

This is a great book for girls who are 11 to 14 or so. I really liked it because it is a bit smarter than The Care and Keeping of YOU. Girls will get all of their questions answered and even some they didn't know they had! It's more grown up feeling in it's tone and style. Your daughter will go back to this book again and again, definitely a worthwhile investment. Inspirational quotes are interspersed throughout.
