This review is from: The Care & Keeping of You Journal (Spiral-bound)

This book was really great! It gave important imformation about "girl" things, and I really learned a lot about growing up, changes, and just my body. It explains how to stay healthy and clean. I enjoyed reading this book a lot! It's a good idea to look in it with your mother because you can understnad it more. This book probally should be for kids ages 11 and up!!!!!
If kids under 11 years old see it, well, you need to have plenty of matureness!! I am 12 and for all you 12 year old girls out theRe, BUY THIS BOOK! ! !

3.0 out of 5 stars A Journal Of Self Discovery, June 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Care & Keeping of You Journal (Spiral-bound)

The book is beautifully done. However, I was sort of disappointed because of the lack of information. There are a lot of things for me to fill out but not enough stuff for me to read. However, it IS a journal but I wish it was more detailed about what it wanted me to write and such. There are some things in here you can fill in once and if you want to fill it in again, you have to erase which is sometimes a pain.

I think this book is for younger girls. If you want a mature book with a lot of good information, I would suggest The Care and Keeping of You.

Although I'm disappointed, I definitely don't regret buying it but you should have the companion book (The Care of and Keeping of You: The Body Book For Girls) first before getting the journal.

Have fun!
