Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Part of the Girl Zone series, Body Talk: The Straight Facts on Fitness, Nutrition & Feeling Great About Yourself by Ann Douglas and Julie Douglas, illus. by Claudia D vila, also includes quotes from real girls. The mother/daughter offering (Julie is 14) opens with a time line-"Through Thick and Thin"-that traces fashion trends from 1800 to the 21st century. "Chew on This" sidebars provide juicy nuggets: "A hundred years ago actress Lillian Russell, weighing 200 lbs., was considered a great beauty." Back matter contains a directory of girl-friendly Web sites. Ages 9-13.

Review

Although humorous in parts, the reader's attention is captured from the first page with information about lead-based cosmetics. -- Linda Irvine, Resource Links 02/2003

Upbeat and non-guilt-inducing air ... the information is accurate and easy to read. -- Miriam Kaufman, Quill & Quire 11/2002 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome antidote to the unhealthy, unrealistic, and self-esteem destroying messages advertising constantly bombards, February 6, 2008
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
"Body Talk: The Straight Facts on Fitness, Nutrition & Feeling Great About Yourself!" by Ann Douglas & Julie Douglas takes the reader on a voyage to learn tips, tricks, and techniques for taking care of one's body. From learning how fickle and unreliable standards of beauty are (and have been throughout history), to not putting too much emphasis on artificial and commercial cosmetics, to advice for including more activity in one's life and eating a balanced nutritional diet, Body Talk is a welcome antidote to the unhealthy, unrealistic, and self-esteem destroying messages advertising constantly bombards young women with.
