1: Wish I had this book when I was growing Up!
I bought this book for my niece and I wanted to read it before mailing it to her and my sister-in-law. I wished I had a book like this when I was growing up. I love all the details and pictures that goes with every experience. This is an amazing book and I wish every child at the proper age could learn from it. Thank you Karen Gravelle.

2: The Period Book
"The Period Book" is an excellent resource for young girls. The book has very clear and complete information about menstruation, and how to use pads, tampons, etc. It is written in terms that are simple and has illustrations that help clarify. This book helps lower anxiety by telling young girls what to expect. It is a wonderfully helpful little book to which girls can continue to refer.

3: I love this book, and now I'm getting it for my little sister.
This book is a must. I bought it for myself when I was twelve. I am now 21 and purchasing it for my 13 year old sister. For mom's who don't want their kids to read it, I'm disappointed. The title says it all. Things you need to know, but obviously don't want to talk to mom about. I spent an hour in the bookstore reading all the different "growing up" books. Not one other came close.
Things this book has that no other did
1. Descriptions of different types, colors, and textures of blood that you may excrete. It tells you what is normal and when to go to mom because it's not normal.
2. An in depth drawing and description of a pelvic exam and the scary tools used. The best around. (yes this is necessary, both me and my sister are anemic and had full exams at the age of 12)
3. It tells you to get a mirror and look at yourself. SOOO important. Other books may say it's okay to do this, but this one flat out says DO IT. There is no need to be ashamed of your body.
Mom's who think it tells to much about sex, it doesn't. And WAKE UP! We live in a sexual world, girls are coming into contact with pressures much younger. It's now normal to be a teen mother, a new highschool was built by me that had it's own daycare. Girls need to know these things. And there is nothing out of line in this book. It has black and white sketches of male genitalia and I would much rather be prepared than terrified the first time I saw one.

4: Very Informative Book for Girls!!!
I highly recommend this book for parents to read over with their preteen daughters (ages 9-13) who have not started their periods yet or have just started. It covers all the embarrassing awkward questions and answers that some kids are afraid to ask and parents are afraid to answer. I wish I had had this book when I was 12--my mom was old-school and didn't talk to me about this stuff (my sister told me what I needed to know). Anyway, it covers everything in a simple and fun tone that makes the reader want to read more and learn more. It is not inappropriate AT ALL as some other reviewers have said. It covers body changes and what to expect--everything a young girl NEEDS to know!

5: Great book for 11 year old grand daughter
My grand daughter had not been wanting to talk about growing up things that were starting to happen to her body.........and I bought this book along with some others from American Girl Library to read at her descretion and she loved them and is now talking to me or her dad about things...............awesome for those really shy about "getting the talk"...........happy grandma California
