Just for Girls

Excellent book. My 9 year old daughter had started to ask questions about changes to her body. Even though I explained as best I could I wanted something that she could read for herself and understand it much better using illustrations etc. This book was exactly what she needed. It explains things in plain English so she can understand it and digest it at her own pace. We read through each chapter and discuss it at the end so I know she understands what we had just read. The book is an easy read and the illustrations are just enough. It also has a little chapter about changes in boys which is also very good to read.I highly recommend this book.

Informative book aimed at tweenager stage (8 years onwards) appropriate for pre pubescent girls who are starting to ask questions about body changes which supplements what they are getting taught at school. Deals with physical changes and periods as well as nutrition, exercise and emotions. Small section on boys body changes. It doesn't cover sex. Easy to read with age appropriate illustrations and diagrams.

Got this for my 8 yr old as she's started asking questions about her changing body. It's not intense it provides good assurance so she can browse through at her own speed. No sex references which I was keen to avoid at her age. Small section on boys bodies which is helpful to her.

My daughter loves this book. It gives enough of a description about puberty for her to understand the stages her body will go through. It also doesn't cover sex, which i felt she was too young for. She feels very grown up reading it and it has initiated a number of open discussions.

I wanted a book that told my 10 year old daughter what was happening to her body but without mentioning sex as I feel she is not ready for that yet. After reading the reviews this book is perfect. Enough detail to explain what is happening and enough for her to ask questions.

Fantastic for girls to read alone and in private if they are embarrassed and then any questions can be answered appropriately, we are a very open family and this book has encouraged some interesting if not random questions at interesting times, all I can say is poor grandma (sorry mum) but I do encourage questions and answer them wherever we are!!!

Perfect for my 11 y/o daughter and easy to understand. My 8 y/o niece I also now reading it and it's also age appropriate for her. Great little book!

Very helpful

I would recommend this book for any parent who has a girlkid turning 8/9 years old.I use the book more like a reference to talk to my girl. I don't read it with an intent to complete but going absolutely slowly to remove any doubts or myths in her mind .Definitely a must for a parent than a kid..

This book is great for preparing girls for body changes. It is written short and to the point making it easy for girls to read. I would recommend this book for girls in 5th grade or older. It does discuss boy erections which is a little shocking at first but then I realized after talking to my daughter just how outspoken boys already are in her 5th grade class. I would definitely rather her read the facts and ask me questions rather than be uneducated and hear it all from the boys. It only touches briefly on the boy changes in order to let girls know that boys are in the same boat and going through similar changes. it DOES NOT talk about how to have sex so that is left to the parents which is better in my opinion.Hope thus helps!PS if you have a 5 below store near you they have both the girl and boy version available for $5 right now.

This is like a Bible for growing up girls pre teens. All the questions a growing up kid has.. book is the perfect answer to those. I highly recommend parents of girls age 9-14.

This has been one of the most popular books in my 6th grade classroom library this year. My students, as is to be expected, are very curious about their bodies, and about the bodies of the opposite sex. This book does a nice job of explaining how things work, along with delving into feelings and the ins and outs of being a maturing girl. As I said, it's so popular that I can't seem to keep it on the shelf in my classroom. The book has sparked numerous healthy conversations about development and has given me many opportunities to dissolve myths that are pervasive in the minds of young people. It's a good resource, and kids relate well to the writing style and graphics.

A very good book for growing girls. Covers all the necessary topics.
