Book Reviews of The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library)

Book Review: Excellent educational tool for girls
Summary: 5 Stars

My daughter's mom and I purchased this book years ago for our oldest daughter after it was recommended to us as she hit her preteen age. This book helped her become comfortable with talking about her body and the "transformation" it was going through. She learned that it is normal by all accounts. It also helped understand there will be more changes.

This book has good drawings for girls to relate to. It explains things in good and easy to understand language.

This book also helped me as a father talk with my youngest daughter. As expected she was more comfortable talking with her mom on "girl" subjects. After she read the book, I had a good long talk with her. I could immediately see her comfort level to discuss boys and girls increased.

Parents, this is NOT a replacement for talking to your children. This is an aid to help them see in print that everything will be alright. Still have lengthy conversations with your child. This helps.
