5.0 out of 5 stars Wishing I had this book growing up, December 15, 2004

This review is from: Real Beauty: 101 Ways to Feel Great about You (American Girl Library) (Paperback)

This book is a wonderful thing for pre-adolescent girls to really get into and think about who they are in a positive way. It's an upbeat, well thought out, interactive book that is fun to read. My shy ten year-old daughter really got into writing down things she likes about herself--and felt totally comfortable doing this despite a recent dip in self-confidence. There are wonderful hints and ideas for hygiene, health, attitude, friendships, boys, dealing with parents, etc... As I read through it I wished that I would of had something like this back in 5th grade! What a wonderful message to give to girls. K

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Real Beauty: 101 Ways to Feel Great about You (American Girl Library) (Paperback)

This is a really good book, I'm 12 and I got this book when I was about 10. Still, whenever I'm feeling down or a little upset I always enjoy curling up in bed and reading Real Beauty. It really does make you feel better about yourself. I think It is a very good book for pre-teens and teens.

This review is from: Real Beauty: 101 Ways to Feel Great about You (American Girl Library) (Paperback)

I think this is a great book for young girls. I wish there had been something like this when I was this age. As a mother to an 8 year old I found all these clever hints and tips to be great help. My only complaint with American Girl is that they never feature special needs or disabled children. My daughter has Down syndrome and it would be great to see the American Girl company actually include these children in their population of American Girls.

The book is bright, colorful and easy to read. There are lots of checklists and creative ideas to help girls feel better about themselves. These are also things that parents can start doing with their younger girls. I think the target is the tweens... 10-13 year olds, but I believe that younger girls can benefit a lot from this.
