review 1: This book is written in a great tone and short sections for the target audience and it deals with a lot of issues young girls may have questions on and is a great followup book to the first one. I use these books in that I read them first then have a talk with my girls and give them the book to read and ask them to come back to me with any other questions they have, dealt with or not dealt with in the book. I kinda didn't like the fact that the book deals with more (in my opinion) grown-up ways of hair removal than girls this age need to worry about (hair creams and so on), but that was minor. I also like that the book does tell the girls to always talk to their parents with questions, not their peers, and also even deals with peer pressure a bit. So far, I've been gratefu... morel to have these books to help my girls and I have the talks we need to about growing up.
review 2: I remember giving the earlier book to one of my students years ago and she felt it helped her understand a lot about her body growing into adulthood. I teach kids who speak another language as their first language and their parents usually come from other countries. As kids live here and learn English faster than their parents, there is often a communication gap between them that makes conversation in depth difficult. This book can help these girls and other girls to really read about their changing bodies and develop an understanding that might help them converse a bit better with their parents about it. For any girl going through puberty, this is a helpful book that assists in any discussion about their bodies and a guide they consult when they are in to do so. I highly recommend this book. less
