My 10 year old keeps asking me when she's going to start puberty and what it all means. I keep telling her "In about 25 pounds from now" because she's so skinny, but that's not cutting the mustard. For kids who like to ask the same esoteric question 492,309 times, this book lets them read the same answer over and over. It's medically factual and easy for a 5th grader to understand. It also encourages the kids to follow up with parents for more questions.

I bought this book to read with my 8yo daughter. She paged through it a bit before we started, I thought nothing of it. A few days later at the table she said something about "watching her weight." We were floored. We don't talk like that and have no body hang ups. We addressed it but were really concerned about the source.Today we started reading it. The introduction immediately talked about girls being awkward, confused, embarrassed, and "struggling to find words" to talk about their bodies. WHAT? Are you kidding me? She was none of those things but thanks for planting that in her mind. We stopped reading and I told her it probably wasn't the right book for us. After she went to bed I turned to the chapter titled "Belly Zone." Now we see exactly where she got the idea that she should start to "worry abut her weight." More gems on the page? fad diets, "normal" weight, "where's your waist?," and talking to your doctor about going on a diet.This book is supposed to be for 8+. Shameful garbage. I am so beyond angry.

I bought this for my daughter who currently is seven with the thought I would have it stored away until I felt like she was ready to start talking in more detail about puberty, maybe sometime in the next year or when she is eight. I developed on the earlier side, as did my mother, so I am anticipating she may start pre-puberty in the next year or so. I am so glad I decided to read through the book before showing it to her because I have decided to return it and look for something else. As another reviewer mentioned, this book has a lot of content that could actually CAUSE insecurities about her body rather than prevent them.What I like about the book:It is simply written and easy for a younger girl to understand. It talks about puberty in a mostly positive way. It has fun illustrations that would appeal to my daughter and does talk about all bodies being different and so on, BUT…What I DON’T like about the book:As of now my daughter has a very positive self/body image. She is very comfortable in the skin she is in. From my observations, most girls in the target age of this book, 8-11, haven’t quite gotten the message yet that they should be looking critically at their own bodies or judge others for how they look. If they read this book, though, they WILL be exposed to these concepts. While my daughter does have a positive self-image at the moment and we have worked hard to cultivate that, I also know (and remember) how fragile that can be at the tween stage and the power of suggestion is huge at this age.Here are some examples:My daughter has a beautiful speckling of freckles across her nose. Most people around her have commented that they love them. SHE loves them. She said to me a few months ago that she wished she had MORE freckles. In this book, on page 36: “I have freckles. I hate them and wish I could get some lotion that would make my freckles go away. I need help!” While she loves her freckles, I could see reading this she may start to question how she feels about them. I could imagine her thinking, “Wait, are freckles considered to be ugly?”Page 50-51, three questions are about girls’ insecurities of having a flat chest, then this one: “I have bigger boobs than all of my friends. Because of this, my friends are embarrassed to be around me because they think I’m very ugly and fat. I used to be very popular, but now I find myself dorky and lonely.” Yikes! Really?? I developed breasts earlier than my friends and was definitely insecure about them, wearing large shirts, etc., but NEVER did I ever think my friends wouldn’t like me because of them. The message that people may not like you because of anything having to do with your physical appearance is horrible. I know it is rampant in our culture, but I really would like to keep my young daughter from being exposed to this idea as long as I can. I realize the book is trying to prevent these kinds of thoughts, but the question in itself may get girls wondering and thinking about these things, not to mention re-enforcing the message that if you are fat, you are unlikable.In the same vain, pages 62-63, titled Body Talk, all four questions from girls are about how other girls are thinner; how to stay thin; how to get thinner; and comparing your own body to your friends'. Talk about re-enforcing the idea that thin is ideal! I know the answers talk about all bodies being different and not to compare yourself, but these questions themselves might get our daughters thinking about whether they are thin enough and that it is normal to compare their bodies to their friends'. Yes, I realize she will face these issues at some point. I just feel there is no need to get these thoughts going at such an early age.This is getting so long, but just know there are other parts in the book talking about comparing yourself to others physically; calling someone pizza face because of acne; insecurities if you haven’t gotten your period yet and are not considered a “woman” like your friends, etc. Again, I know that these are presented as questions and the book is telling the girls not to do those things or feel these ways, but the power of suggestion is so strong.I wish there was a simple book about bodily changes/puberty which I could read to an eight year old girl without going in to explicit details about sex. This book would be much better if it just stuck to the facts about physical changes during puberty, how to take care of yourself, etc. and left out the question/answer section. The questions seem more appropriate for the second book for older girls (if even), not the target age of this book. I saw one recommendation in another review for "Reaching for the Moon," by Lucy H. Pearce. I will try that and then leave an update here.

The book addresses many feelings of insecurity like, "It's tempting to compare yourself to the girls you see on TV...I just got glasses. I was worried everybody would make fun of me...I have freckles. I hate them...People say I'm thin, but I think I need to lose about 15 pounds...Do you feel left out because everyone except you is getting a bra?" My daughter doesn't seem to to have these issues and I don't want to plant all of these insecurities in her head. I will be searching for a book that gives the facts and doesn't assume that every child will feel shame and embarrassment while growing up.

I have never written a review before but feel compelled to warn parents that this book could make your daughter start having confidence issues. The first page talks about how you may be embarrassed by parts of your body (my daughter is not so why introduce that idea at the ripe old age of 9?). Then on the page about wearing glasses (which my daughter does proudly and considers fashionable) it talks about how you may feel like a dork or people might make fun of you in your glasses. No thanks. She's not reading this book and now I'm searching for one that provides this type of information in a more positive manner.
