My daughter (9 yrs, turns 10 in Nov) found this bk ON HER OWN at the Library on Friday and her nose hasn't come out of it since. It has opened up conversation betw her and I, where otherwise, I probably would have waited til her first session of "sex ed" coming up in 4th grade this coming year.
She is really interested in it - and has even been better about putting her own deodorant on - flossing her teeth and using mouthwash - and yesterday she said "Mom smell my arms", she said, "I used vanilla lotion!!"!!!
She is missing her fingers on her right hand so putting her hair up in a pony is a bit difficult, I have always done her hair. Yesterday she asked me to use my hair dryer - and she did her hair ALL ON HER OWN!!!!!!!!!!! I was so impressed! She has really learned a lot from this bk!
She's so proud - and for her - a child who hasn't shown a great deal of interest in personal hygeine, it has been a great bk!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMENED! I think I'll actually buy a copy since I have 3 girls.....

actually my friend had this book, she showed it to me, i was just to embarrased to ask my mom for the book,( i shouldnt be but for some reason i am) but i might ask my mom, because it looks very good, so im probably going to get this book. The only little thing was the tampom section. Anyways i thought it rocked, its perfect for preteens. I recommend it!! :)

My seven year old daughter started asking all the "questions" that seem so hard to answer on the spot. This book has been a great resource for us and it gives us a base point for important conversations going forward as she moves into puberty. We glossed over some issues that she has a few more years to wait (thankfully) before she will need them, but it answered her basic questions and now Mom can coast for a bit until she is ready for more information. I like that it hits on body image and being realistic about what you see in the mirror- we are all different shapes, sizes and colours- and it is what we have on the inside that makes us beautiful, strong and likeable.
It doesn't really cover the "sex" topic (again, thankfully that hasn't been a big questions-YET!) but more specific to body changes for girls. I highly recommend this as a resource for Mom's and young daughters.

Wonderful for mother-daughter talks!
A great book to explain to a pre-teen girl the importance of good hygiene, while promoting self acceptation and de-dramatizing all the changes associates with puberty. Read more

Great Way to Break the Ice
I bought this book the day my oldest daughter started her period. I wish that I had bought it before so that she could have been better prepared for what was coming. Read more

PERFECT for girls who are embarassed to ask us
I purchased this for my daughter - it's a wonderful resource for her when she is too shy to ask me the question (which is ALWAYS!) I can't recommend this book enough.
