great book August 17, 2008
This is a great book for a young girl. I purchased the book with the intention of having a "talk" with my 9 yr old. This book explains so much without showing too much. I wanted to talk to her about her period but was not ready to talk to her about sex. This book gave so much more than what I had in mind. It talks about proper hygiene and eating habits. All around great book. I'm considering looking into the other American Girl library books.I recommend this book to every parent for their growing young ladies.
Wonderful book for 9-11 year old girls! July 28, 2008
This is an excellent book for pre-teen girls who are just becoming aware of their body. It offers excellent advice on how to take care of their body and how to deal with changes that begin to happen. And best of all this information is presented in a very no-nonsense and friendly way that they can relate to at their age.
My 9 year old daughter simply loved this book. She read it from cover to cover in one sitting but keeps coming back and refering to it again and again. I wish I had read a book like this when I was a kid.
I also recommend the companion book The Feelings Book: The Care & Keeping of Your Emotions (American Girl). It seems kids today face more stresses than we did back in our day and books like the American Girl series really help supplement the talks you'll have with your child as a parent.
A Must Read for Pre-Teen Girls July 25, 2008
This is an outstanding book for pre-teen girls because it helps girls to feel confident in themselves. It gives helpful advice, and it covers everything that a young girl wants to know but may be embarrassed to ask. It allowed my two daughters to read about issues that are relevant to them, and then they felt comfortable talking to me. I highly recommend this book for moms and daughters alike.
This one is a must have!!! July 24, 2008
My daughter and I have been talking about self-care, self-image, and confidence since she was able to talk. I got this book for her as an adjunct to our conversations. She read it in one day and wants to buy a few to give friends on their birthdays. She related to the book on a 10-year old level. I like that it is not too specific and therefore does not conflict with some of the more sensitive issues that we talk to her about. . I highly recommend this for parents of early tweens.
Good book recommended by our doctor July 18, 2008
Our pediatrician recommended this book during my daughter's 10-year-old regular check up. My daughter has been reading it without much prompting. It's a good overall book for this age range. It is what I expected.
