The Girl's Body Book Paperback – 15 Aug. 2017

I got this book to help my daughter a while ago (actually over a year ago now) who is currently 10 so she could try and understand the changes her body is and will be going through in the future. It was definitely a good start.It has been written in a way that meant I could have a less embarrassing (and not just for her) way of covering some of the topics so she could ask questions plus helping her realise she wasn't odd, which she definitely feels she is at the moment being almost twice the height and is more advanced than most of her friends and already having a body that (in her mind atleast) belonged to someone else as it seemed to change overnight.No amount of talking things through with mum seemed to help that transition into becoming a grown-up, especially when her mind was that of a little girl (which in pretty much every way except physically she still is).It is written with humour, but gets the point across in a memorable way. The illustrations are a reflection of this aswell and help to alleviate what could be some slightly awkward moments for us both.There is also a brief section on boys/siblings and why/what changes they go through (she found this rather hysterical especially as she has a 'really annoying brother' - her words lol). But as the book is for girls that is its focus.I am so pleased I picked it.

Have recommended this to many friends . Hits all the right notes without inappropriate information. Bought for my daughter when she was 9 and I was happy for her to read everything in it. She dips in and out of it and asks questions if needed. Happy to talk about all of it with her but it made it less daunting for her than the "we need to talk about things" conversation. Other books go in to detail she is not ready for.

My daughter found this book very helpful and informative.

This book is great for young girls getting to know there bodies

Great book for my 9 year old , very easy to read and great illustration . Would recommend this book to anyone who has a young child asking question and your not to sure how or where to start.

This is a great book to share with your daughter or let her go and read it herself. Facts are explained in an easy but fun way. Good for getting a conversation started and for general information.

This book was just perfect for my 9 year old. Enough of the information she wanted without introducing subjects she wasn't ready for.

Very useful for little girls.
