A good guidebook for your little lady.

Got the first book for my daughter a couple of years ago and she really liked it. Now that she's older and that much closer to teenagerhood, got her the second book. I haven't seen her enjoy this one as much as she did the first but I'm glad she has these as resources to turn to instead of asking embarrassing questions to the Internet.

Great for 10 year old

I ordered this book for my 10 year old. While we have had many talks about puberty, etc. I think it helps to have a book with illustrations that can answer questions that she has. After reading through the book, I feel it is very appropriate for her age. She read several sections last night and told me it was very interesting. Happy with my purchase.

Awesome but I got the wrong one

July 22, 2018

When I saw the number 2 on it I thought it was the updated version or something. When it got home and i opened it I was about to hand it over to my 10 year old daughter when I flipped through it and realized it’s a bit more advanced, like inserting tampons and self checking breast etc. I just tucked it away and told her I got the wrong one. So I just ordered the original and they journal. I will be saving this one for another year or two.

Great but graphic

Verified Purchase

This book truly helped me understand what was really happening to my body. I am 12 so this review is truly reliable because of my age and what I'm going through. The images were a bit surprising though. I definitely would NOT give this book to an unprepared child. As long as parents talk to their kids beforehand, this book is acceptable. I would also say that children who have not gone into puberty should NOT read this book. plus, should be rated GIRLS ONLY. Be careful if your child has younger siblings of any gender.

Must Read

April 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

Book 1 was a great book for young ladies, it answers a lot of he uncomfortable questions and acts as a better resource than their friends. My daughters read and reread this book 1 so when my niece started asking questions I shipped it to her. So when I seen there was a book 2 I jumped at the chance to send that book as well. Not only does it answer a lot of questions it opens the floor for a better dialogue.

Pre-Teen Growing up book

Verified Purchase

This book was purchased to train young girls in institutional care on their periods and body. We used it in a cross-cultural environment. Although, written in English, the pictures are plentiful and universal. There are many multi-cultural girls in the book. Absolutely loved it and bought one for every girl in the class. I highly recommend this for girls ages 11 and up, but please refer to the author's recommendations. Beautifully done and thoughtfully laid out, chapter after chapter. A winner.

I would recommend this book

June 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

I purchase this book for my daughter and her friend who are 9 years old.
They could not put the book down. They had conversations about their period and what they should expect and do when it happens.
Keep them learning about their bodies, reading and discussing.
I would recommend this book.
