When I read the review featured under this book I was very dissapointed because this book is special. As the mother of three children, two of which are daughters I was excited to find a book that so aptly fit the younger of my two girls. She is a Tomboy in every sense of the word and sometimes it is hard to find books that feature female characters with the same zest for life and excitement of adventure that my daughter has. This book is about girls who are bold and strong, who love adventure every bit as much as their boy counterparts, and who aren't afraid to get dirty. It celebrates the intelligent,sporty, fun-loving, and sometimes messy part of all girls. This book is a wonderful illustration of the fact that being a girl is what you make it because every girl is different. You don't have to be a boy to be smart and to have fun.

This is the first book my 4 year old has memorized and reads to me. Both my daughters love it. They enjoy finding 'themselves' in the various illustrations. I love the message that girls can be smart or sticky or scary. I wish I had been able to read it when I was little.

Great! rhyming text, pictures showing girls of all ethnicities being active, brave, creative. Inspiring! Minimal text on each page. Age 1.0+ My 2.5 y.o daughter wanted it read over and over.
