Amazon.com Review
Fun, smart, empowered, and still cute as a bug--that's the Hello Kitty of the 21st century. For more than 25 years, Hello Kitty's familiar cartoon face has graced T-shirts, purses, pencils, stickers, advertisements, and books, to the never-ceasing delight of girls and teens. Now, with the onset of grrrl power, Hello Kitty has become more than just another pretty face. She's cool, she's studious, she's creative, she exudes personal style. This little book of big ideas is designed to inspire and motivate girls to become the fashionable, confident, clever captains of their own destiny. Packed with hints and tips, the guide features such chapters as "Witty Kitty" (Hello Kitty urges girls to broaden their brainpower and keep on learning), "Castle Chic" (keeping bedrooms clean, organized, and regularly redecorated), and "Pal Power" (how to be a great friend). There are also plenty of beauty makeover ideas, suggestions for sleepover activities, and extra-simple recipes ("Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on a bowl of hot popcorn," "Personalize a peanut butter sandwich by adding sliced banana"). Browse at will or read the book cover to cover--either way, girls will find "a galaxyful of fun-to-follow tips and tricks for getting the most out of all that you do." Move over, Martha Stewart! (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter
From Publishers Weekly
Hello Kitty has it covered in Hello Kitty's Little Book of Big Ideas: A Girl's Guide to Brains, Beauty, Fashion, Friendship & Fun! by Marie Moss. With chapters such as "Witty Kitty" offering tips for sharpening readers' wits (e.g., a list of "12 Things to Get You Thinking"), "Style File" including a "fashion fundamentals checklist," and "Pal Power" covering the "buddy basics," Moss's commentary is pithy and punchy. A chic design with the famous feline at its center makes the whole package a temptation for females of all ages.

My parents just bought this book for my little sister, and, before she read it, I had to! I loved it, and now I'm getting one for myself! This great and I think it should be for 9 to about 14 year olds.

I thought I'd picked a winner and was right. My 11 year old sister loved it.
The book is a good one, it has advice ranging from friendship, to fashion, and even a little nutrition thrown in for good measure. All of the info is solid, thoughtful and heartfelt.
A lot of kids seem to be raising themselves these days, either through family breakups or just a lack of attention. While nothing replaces solid advice from a loved one, books on being a young woman can be quite helpful in sorting out the things children deal with growing up. This one certainly is.
Cute, fun, and helpful. This is a great gift to show you care.

...to learn (or remember) what it is to be a girl from Hello Kitty's wonderful perpective! I am a little older than the target age group for most HK products, but I love and collect HK and was thrilled to see a nifty little book like this come out. I have given 3 copies away as gifts to my niece, sister and a family friend and am about to purchase another as a gift for another young lady because I think the information inside is so vital and perfect! It helps girls learn about who they are, rules of etiquette, and has lots of creative ideas to keep the mind sharp, all at a simple, fun & easy-to-read pace. Brilliant! (and worth every penny!) Moms & Dads, sisters & brothers, aunt & uncles, friends - whomever - should consider this item in their gift-giving pool.
