The Girl's Body Book (Fifth Edition): Everything You Need to Know for a Healthy, Happy YOU! (Boys & Girls Body Books)

Perfect for a growing girl. Very insightful and made the hard things to explain (in my opinion) very simple. I do not regret buying this book at all!

This is a really good book for girls to learn about their bodies. My daughter calls it her “growing up book”. She has read through several pages now and is excited to continue to learn. There’s so much kids don’t learn in school about their bodies, and are embarrassed to ask the important questions. I feel like this book has helped open the door for my daughter to feel comfortable to ask me about things that she hadn’t asked about before. I love that they mention consent and what it means, along with other things. It doesnt mention seggs or anything like that- but more so what boundaries are with kids their own age and adults. I’ve been reading the book with my daughter, and to her, and have not yet seen anything that raises any eyebrows. There is a page where it teaches them how to self examine for b cancer but since its for educational purposes- i let that slide. This book provides in depth information that every young woman should have access to. Bully-ing, cyber bully-ing and things that many parents don’t talk to their kids about until it starts happening. Just soo much stuff. I can see my daughter taking a lot of information from the book and applying it to her life as she grows. Worth every penny!

My daughter actually loved this book so much we’ve read it multiple times. It really helps first time parents explain to their young daughter the body changes they can expect.

It was better than the others I found on here. Im old school and I believe sensitive information, especially about a young girls body should be shared WHEN the time is right. I didn't appreciate my 8 year old learning that a tampon is inserted into the vagina, I think maybe when she's 10 that aspect can be shared, so I've had to cover that page. I've also covered the one about the gynaecologist,it's be honest, does an 8 year old need to know that yet? I think those should be discussed with parents when THEY decide the time is ready. Not placed in a children's book. She is freaking out already. I do however love the little tips and the different ways for her to know herself, work on her self esteem, choose her friends wise ect.

This book has lots of information, and it's much more than just a "puberty" book. In fact, that's only about 32 of the 150 pages. Other topics include general personal care (pimples, dental care, BO, etc), healthy eating, exercise, being safe online and in real life, developing good study habits, dealing with stress, drug use, and so on. I am completely baffled by some reviewers who complained that this book was full of "left wing ideologies". That is patently false, and they are intentionally misleading you. I don't think they actually read the book. I suspect they noticed the author is non-binary and are review-bombing. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I've got the book open in front of me and I cannot find any mention of gender identity or sexual orientation. Are they upset about a book for girls that talks about consent and boundaries? I just can't find much of anything in this book that seems to have an ideological agenda.

For the male prospective. I know you just wish you can get a plunger and push those boobs back in but that would be child abuse and we're going to move away from that. The new world of female development into a raging ball of hormones and genitalia and breast development... Ohh God help me.... This book may have saved my life.... If you see blood one day from your daughter bottom, don't rush her to the emergency room. You might have to look around and find the first woman for this kind of help. You single dads, are you equipped with the right needs. If you do not have a woman you can trust to talk to her (cousin girlfriend some sort of relative) then continue reading... First step, have a nice adult beverage of your choice. Next up look at your little girl and know that she's never going to be the same. Next step read the book... In combination with adult beverage. Take breaks as needed. Now that your armed with the tools to talk to your daughter. Don’t shy away from it. You need to do it or she will get her information from the Internet or friends. It's a time of great uncertainty and confusion. She will probably be insecure about how she looks and the changes. Be commutative and available to talk. She's going to need a lock on her room. Let her know that, she is growing from a lovely girl into a beautiful young lady. Hearing that from you is essential. She’s going to feel awkward having this conversation with anyone, let alone you.. After some talks, you can give her the book. Now this is going to hurt... Your daughter is going to date and do things... This is where you need to think of boyfriend deterrence.... Think about the scene in the "50 cent scares boyfriend - Den of Thieves" movie. You can find it on YouTube. And good luck!

This book is nice to have around with little girls. Informative but not too deep. She can flip through and ask questions

When you have a 9-year-old with approximately 847 questions about periods and growing up, this book is a lifesaver. It explains everything in an informative, age-appropriate way without making it scary or overly complicated. It’s also great for starting conversations that might otherwise feel a little awkward. Highly recommend for the “Mom, I have a question…” era.

Excellent book for growing kids. Research done in so much of depth, success of this book is in simple and non-complicated presentation. Thanks.

I researched so many books about puberty for my 9 year old. I wanted boobs, periods, hair, sweat and absolutely nothing about sex. There is just no need to know that at this age. It was proving very difficult! A friend recommended this and its great! It is American so I have had to explain odd words for my daughter but I really like it. The section on the gynaecologist(weird!) we just missed out. Great stuff on emotions, friendships and cyber safety too. Have now bought the boy version and put it away til my son is ready. Would definately recommend.

Great book and really informative. It's layed out very well and great for ages 10- early teen. Highly recommend.

My girl can’t read it yet but it’s absolutely educating

This was a great book for our daughter we gave it to her early so when the changes started happening she wasn't blind sided and confused. She asked a few questions and did end up re reading it when she got her first period. It was really good for her and she said it was easier to read it and less embarrassing.
