I purchased seven books about puberty to read before determining which books I wanted to pass on to my 10 year old daughter. This was one of the books I decided to hold back. The beginning of the book is great. It addresses: puberty, eating, exercise, healthy weight, height, skin (pimples), teeth, hair (pubic), breast development, vulva, period, and feelings. The last chapter of the book is about sex and that is why I am holding the book for a later discussion. I think the basic information about puberty is enough to get started. I know if I gave my daughter the book she would read the entire book in one setting, and I think it is far too much to start with.

Excellent, well written and not too much information. Just the right amount of thought provoking info to help create adult/pre-teen conversation.

i am buying this book for a young girl i know who is turning eleven. i liked how the book covered not only body and feelings but sex too. if you one star and two star reviewers haven't noticed but the same book for boys by the ama has a higher star rating. and no one who wrote a review about the ama boy book said that talking about sex with boys was wrong, only the people who wrote a review about the girl book said that. how interesting. now, you kinda wonder how girls get raped in the first place? -the angry feminist
