This book is worthwhile in that it provides basic nutrition knowledge to preteen girls. But reading the book is one thing, and following through is another. The preteen in my life did not immediately benefit from this and change her lifestyle, but the seeds of good nutrition were definitely planted, and they seem to be starting to sprout. SO in general i guess this is a useful tool.

this is a great book for preteen girls who have issues with food, wiether it be eating to much or not enough or not eating the right foods. i read it before giving it to my 10 yr old and thought it was written well she had questions and for the most part was able to find the answers in the book. another good thing about american girl.

It is a wonderful book. Full of fun activety's and is a great way to learn how to keep yourself heathy.There are great tips.

This was a concise, clearly written food/nutrition guide for pre-teens. It's very basic, and would recommend it for girls 7-11.

Hello,

I used this book for a mentoring program at my church and it is wonderful.

The pages are informative and colorful........A wonderful and colorful tool for weightloss at any age.

I bought this book for my daughter when I realized she seemed to be eating more often than usual. It took me a while to catch on, but she had started eating for comfort, when she was feeling bad about something. I think this book was a great start toward helping her understand why the was eating. Now we are helping her find other outlets for her stress, like exercise, etc. She uses the book herself to make better food choices at mealtimes. I wish books like this weren't necessary, but we live in a stressful society, and it is important to help kids learn to manage their stress. This book isn't a substitute for therapy, but it does give a budding teenager a good start toward a positive relationship with food. I recommend this to any parent with a young daughter who's struggling with body image, nutrition or weight. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is that it is pretty much just for girls - but that's what American Girl does. Parents of boys might face similar issues, but they will have to look elsewhere.
