1: Just What I Was Looking For
Growing Up: It's a Girl Thing was perfectly appropriate and was exactly what I was looking for. It talks about puberty and first periods to an age-appropriate audience (8-11) without talking so much about sex. Right now this is all the information my daughters need to know. They are still children, running and jumping, playing with their toys, and preparing for puberty, but still young girls that don't need "too much information" to scare and confuse them. Don't misunderstand: I am always telling them about inappropriate touching and such, just as this book has a chapter called "It's My Body", about what kind of touching and contact is fine and what is not. My girls are not being "kept in the dark" about such issues. This book is right on about the changes their bodies will be going through during puberty.

3: Very Good Book
This is a must have for every young girl. This book gives girls the opportunity to read about the changes of life in a nonthreatening way ... and opens the door for wonderful discussion time. As a parent, be sure to read the book before handing it over. There is some content that is really dated and might cause some confusion.

4: We all need help sometimes
I gave the book to my daughter, to assist her with her daughter who is 9 years old now. The book is great. It covers all the things a little girl who is becoming a young teenager needs to know about her body changes and life in general. Wonderful!!

5: Didn't like Sex talk
Although the book discusses it tastefully, I could have done without the section on Sexual Intercourse. That makes it less appropriate for the younger set (9) who are just learning about themselves let alone an interaction with another. The book is written in a manner that keeps the subject interesting and the true life stories are a hit. After raising three adult children, I was looking for a book for my younger children that just discussed the physical changes at this age. Things like why it may be good to wear deodorant, take more baths/showers while stressing things like feeling comfortable with your body and that other people touching it is not appropriate. I think a good book but stress its use for older girls.
