Where Was This Book When I Was Growing Up? October 7, 2008

The Care & Keeping of You:
The Body Book for Girls
Where was this book when I was growing up? What a great book for girls.
As a mother of three girls and a grandmother of four girls, I give thumbs up to The Care & Keeping of You.
I began reading this book with my nine-year-old granddaughter, Autumn. She enjoyed learning about how to brush her hair, and her teeth. She loved the illustrations and the advice. We each took a turn reading.
When it came to the chapter about her period, she said, "Please don't make me read that part, right now. I want to read the rest of the book, but I want to wait until I'm around 12 to read that part."
I told her, "Sure, we can wait. But at least you know the book is here, if you need to know about it."
She is growing up in a home with a mom and two older sisters, and her mom as already had "the talk" with her.
The chapter about developing is great. All girls don't develop at the same rate. Some are uncomfortable because they aren't developing, while others are unhappily, developing too fast. It tells the girls that they are all different and that they have many other great things about them. They should focus on their smiles, or their talents, not what others think about them. Above all, hold their heads up and keep good posture.
I think a book that answers all the questions a girl will have, growing up, is a great idea. This book also encourages the girls to talk to their mothers or an adult they can trust.

 Summary October 5, 2008
Yes, I did order this book for my grand daughter, and she is getting a lot out of it and enjoys it, will get a lot of good information, but if you are asking about my last shipment where you have sent out 2 of these books, then I am very unhappy as I did not order but only one book of this kind. Since this is going to a correctional facility I am in hopes of retriving it to be returned to you. I do not know how it happened, have never had this problem ever.

The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library) September 23, 2008
The first time I bought this book for my nine year old niece. The second time for my nine year old daughter. Both times a wonderful gift. This book addresses all the questions that young girls have concerning growing up. It allows them to read up and gain some information and opens the door for conversation w/Mom. It also is a book that can be shared w/friends so the truth can be learned...accurately.
A Good Introduction to Coming Changes September 3, 2008
This book was empowering for my daughter. She read it every evening for a week after she got it, and we talked about the parts that were a little confusing. She loved being able to talk like an expert on topics so important to her right now. (She is almost 10.) It doesn't provide information on more grown-up topics, so it's good for a young tween. The drawings on the cover may seem a little young, but they are less intimidating than photos might be, I think. An excellent resource.
Excellent reference book for girls!! August 31, 2008

A friend of mine recommended I get this book for my nine year-old daughter, after my daughter asked me with some concern what people meant by "getting pregnant by accident." In the past, my daughter had resisted all of my efforts to talk about the birds and the bees, and even in the conversation that ensued after this pregnancy question, she seemed uncomfortable and worried.
When I gave her this book to read, she could not put it down on the first day. Later on, she told me that it was as if the book was "reading her mind." She even pointed out a page to me that showed several diagrams of a girl's body in various stages of development and pointed to one of the diagrams and said, "This is where I am, don't you think?" She has continued to refer to the book again and again, and every once in a while she will tell me some of the pointers she has learned in this book. If your daughter is between the ages of 8 and 11, she will probably enjoy this wonderful book. I can't say enough what a great reference tool it has been for my daughter.
