5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd had this awesome book!, October 9, 2008

WOW! Thank you for this straightforward, informative, yet fun, book! This is the book every girl needs as she enters puberty. It can be such a confusing time, and Lisa and Chris have written a book that puts it all in perspective and lets girls know what they're going through is perfectly normal. I wish I would have had this book for myself many years ago, and that I'd had it to give to my daughter five years ago. Thank you for a very cool and much needed book!

I highly recommend getting this book for your daughters, neices, granddaughters, and any girl you care about who is heading into puberty. The reassurance they'll feel will give them confidence to go into this new phase of life.

I bought this for my niece--she loved it so much that she asked me for another copy. It makes your period tracking fun. Chronicle books always creates inviting books for their readers.

I thought the book would be larger. I didn't check for measurements. The content would be more appealing if the size of the book was more dramatic. A little to "cutsie" for me. My 11 year old thought it was baby-ish.
