5.0 out of 5 stars FABULOUS BK FOR 9 YR OLD GIRLS!, July 11 2004
This review is from: Care & Keeping Of You: The Body Book for Girls (Paperback)
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.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, sensible information for a young girl..., Feb 14 2012
By 
S. Stewart "Sioux" (Cranbrook, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Care & Keeping Of You: The Body Book for Girls (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Way to Break the Ice, July 17 2004
By 
Stephanie Gray (Tampa, Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Care & Keeping Of You: The Body Book for Girls (Paperback)
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.
I sat down with my nine year old and my eleven year old and we read the book from cover to cover. They learned so much from the book. I even learned a couple of things.
It is an easy read that covers many aspects of grooming and the menstrual period. Awesome read!
