Good for all ages, well written, well illustrated February 8, 2002

The information is accurate and written in an easy-to-understand format. The line drawings are interesting without being distracting or confusing. The book sticks to one topic, and one topic only. This reassuring and informative book can be enjoyed by girls of any age. Since girls are maturing early, and need this information at such a young age, I appreciate how this book could be shared with a young child without introducing sexual issues that the child isn't ready for.
Exactly what I've been looking for..... September 13, 2005

This book will be perfect for my 9 yr old and I to use as we discuss her next few years. It is so clear and written at a level she will surely understand. I have read MANY MANY books but they all mesh this topic in along with topics which are too old for a 9 yr old. However three of her friends have already started so she needs to be informed now.
As everyone has mentioned the text and drawings are very clear. I was afraid I would have to sketch things out for her - but not now since it's all here. The more teenage topic is quickly referenced on two separate pages in this book - but if she asks I will just say it's for a later discussion. I will be using this book along with Nancy Rue's "The Body Book, It's a God Thing". Both of these books are very well suited for a 9 yr old.
I passed on "The Care and Keeping of You" and "Ready, Set, Grow" for adding in too much information that young girls don't need at ages 9 or 10.

My daughter is nine... I wanted something that would help her with "the basics" without getting into too much detail about sex. I was looking for something that would focus on HER body and how she is feeling... this book did that perfectly!
A wonderful book for young women. October 10, 2004

This book explains menstruation in simple and medically acurate terms. It does not perpetuate any negative myths about menstruation either. I was very happy to see the section on alternative menstrual products, and also happy that it addressed the dangers of Toxic Shock Syndrome.
This book answers all the normal questions about menstruation, but it also gives great examples about how different every woman's body is and enforces the idea that being different is normal.
I highly suggest getting this book for young women to learn about menstruation.
Good Book! February 4, 2004

I purchased this book for my 11 year old step daughter. I didn't tell her that I bought it but when it came in the mail I just gave it to her and told her she needed to read it and then we could talk about it. She absolutely LOVED it and read it all the first night she had it. It is very age appropriate I think and doesn't give away too much information. Very good buy!
