Format:Paperback
When I discovered one of my daughter's friends had started, I thought 'I'll have to get sorted'. I tried my GP's surgery, the health visitor, the family planning clinic to mention but a few and all the literature was for teenagers. My daughter is nine. Then I stumbled upon this book. It is fantastic. I read it myself before passing it on to my daughter. This really is super in that the language is at their level and it helps promote a healthy mental attitude towards puberty and all the stuff that comes with it. I have recommended it to many other mums, who totally agree. SO, TO ALL MUMS WITH GROWING DAUGHTERS ... THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!

My daughter had just turned 10 and was having the school nurse come to give a talk about puberty. I had this book at home as a follow up and it was fantastic. The whole feel of the book attracts the younger girl, lovely illustrations and very funky looking too. The wording is spot on - not too scarey or advanced. I wish I had had a book like this thirty years ago. Seriously any mum should order this book if they are in the least bit worried about having 'the talk' - it WILL help!!

When I was told during parents evening that the topic on the school play ground was sex, periods boys etc i was totally mortified, my daughter is only nine. I decided there and then that I had to do something, thinking back to when i was around 11 and all the horror stories that kids tell each other about such things i was determined to find a book that my daughter could read by herself or with me about periods and puberty. I was adamant that i didn't want her knowing the whole kaboosh at that age so having looked around i purchased this book. Amazing it gives them all they need to know about periods, puberty, moods, friendship and family reactions in a fun and child friendly manner, and most importantly what to do when it happens to them, who they can go to etc. I am so glad that I bought this book and would recommend it to all mums who feel like i did and wanted their child to have only the knowledge suitable for their age. A ++++ to the author.
