This is a good book because it deals with real 5th grade issues like periods and sex. At fifth grade you're becoming a teen, and this book helps you deal with it!

some moms says alice is not good and has bad contients but as a kid I know this is just about a girl growing up and it's very interesting.

Let me start by saying that in NO way am I a prude and I don't want my daughter growing up repressed. I want other parents to be aware, however, of some of the more graphic content in this book. My daughter, who is 9 and in the 4th grade looked kind of freaked out when she was reading a chapter of this book. She had read the 2
previous ALice books and loved them, so I wasn't really worried about the books content. How bad could it be, when it was about a girl in the 5th grade? Well, watch out, because if your child is
still uncomfortable about the topic of sex (which mine happens to be, even after many heart to hearts when she has questions)this book is going to freak your child out. It may also freak out some parents.I don't suggest that people stay away from this book,
because like the other Alice books we've read it is well written
and fun in most ways. I just want parents to be aware of what their child is reading. I don't think most people expect details like these in a book about fifth graders!

if you have a little girl, please do not let them read this book. i don't know what the writer was thinking....these stuff she be left for the parents to talk about to their kids. of course they are going to learn things outside too but to read it in a kid's book is awful and distasteful in my eyes. it talks about SEX, SPERM, TOUCHIHNG BOOBS, taking OFF BRAS, etc....if you are good parent and want your kids to read a book then stay away from this sexually exploited book. someone should ban this whole series for little girls!!!

Meh, This prequel was not as exciting or as memorable as the previous two but it was ok. Alice experiences the loss of her pet and the loss of a friend.

This book is the book for 4-7th graders because it talks about the REAL issues that girls in this age group face.

Lovingly Alice does not disappoint! Even though I am 22 years old now, I starting the series freshman year in high school and still love catching up on Alice! This humerous book tells about Alice in 5th grade and learning about growing up. If you're an Alice fan, don't miss this one!

The content is not appropriate for a child in elementary school. The first two books were ok but what is the point because they want to continue to read about Alice. She grows up way too fast.

After renting the DVD based on the Alice books, and finding it enjoyable, I checked on Amazon for a list of all the Alice books for my 11 year old daughter to read. I was surprised by the reviews, but EXTREMELY ENLIGHTENED when I started reading the books myself. In this book, Alice does ask her dad how the sperm and egg get together, and he gives a very blunt explanation, using all the proper terminology, over dinner. He even goes on to say where a man and woman do this-in bed. Alice herself finds it a bit overwhelming, thinking about her dad, her friends' parents, and even a favorite teacher at school, doing what her dad so clearly describes. Kids probably love the book because it very clearly tells them things their parents don't feel comfortable having them know at this age. For a reason. I know my daughter well enough to have a sense for what is "age appropriate information". We do talk about things and I answer her questions accordingly, but sometimes, too much information just creates more confusion. I've looked at later books in the series and topics of masturbation and oral sex, and "going all the way" are all included. It seems the author has an agenda... This book, and quite a few that follow, are included in our local library's Children's section by the way. KNOW WHAT YOUR DAUGHTER IS READING!

I cannot believe this author is stupid enough to write a book discussing sex for teens! How stupid can you be? How corrupt is your mind?? I would never let my child or any child read this!!! This book deserves 0 stars!
