5.0 out of 5 stars
Simple and Informative.,
By Isakira (Devon. uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Little Book of Growing Up (Paperback)
I purchased this book for my nine year old daughter who has started puberty. I did not want a book that was too deep and involved like some that I had seen.
She doesn't need to know everything in depth yet, but does need to know some areas. We have talked about things, but I think that having a little book on her bookcase that I know she will look at in her own time is useful. This book covers growing and developing bodies, changes that take place, diet and exercise (in a good and positive way) and personal hygiene. It discusses periods, the process and what happens and why, products you can use and mood swings. There are some simple pictures showing the anatomy of the womb, tubes and ovaries, and vagina. It touches on sex, just to mention that when a woman wants a baby the mans sperm goes into the womans vagina and may meet an egg and if it joins it and settle in the womb, it develops into a baby. Also covers boyfriends and friendships. How it can be nice but things can go wrong and you can drift apart. This book also covers a couple of topics that I had not previously considered. But do not dissaprove of at all. Hands off! this is regarding complaining about someone, anyone, if they touch you in a way you dont like and discusses how to negotiate with you family about rules, without screaming and shouting! I was really pleased with this book. It was just what I was looking for and for a younger girl, physically or emotionally, is brilliant. The areas covered are witten simply, in easy to understand language and are displayed on the pages clearly and spaciously so as not to be a daunting or heavy read. My partner thought this book was excellent too. As I had mentioned we had seen books before, aimed at older girls I expect, that we would not have been happy for her to read. I will not hesitate to show this and recommend it to any of my friends who are looking for a book on this subject. Well done and thank you Vic Parker

5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect for the basic facts,
By Jane Smith (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Little Book of Growing Up (Paperback)
This was just the book I have been looking for. I have looked at so many I had almost given up hope of finding something pitched just right for a 9 year old asking those early questions. I did not want to bombard her with information she doesn't need to know and is too young to understand. This talks about changes in the body and explains ITS good to be different to the other girls around you, it's not a race and you shouldn't feel embarassed or ashamed of what is happening. I only wish there had been something like this when I was young and changing into a young woman. 1st class. My search is over. Forget Usborne and all of those others, just buy this.

Brilliant and concise,

This review is from: Little Book of Growing Up (Paperback)
I bought this book for my 9 1/2 yr old girl. It talks about many subjects clearly and concisely, such as changing shape, keeping fit and healthy, changes to hair, skin, spots and how to deal with them, periods, sanitary protection and how to use it, proper names for 'bits'. The section on boyfriends is very downplayed, focusing on the fact that it sounds grown up but can just be someone that you like doing stuff with eg swimming, and how when you break up it's best not to dwell on it and to spend time with family and friends who'love you very much'. Each section is no more than 2 short pages and the subject of sex is only touched on lightly, ie ' a special cuddle when mans sperm go into the woman's vagina'. If anything, the book plays down the enormity of the subject and leaves you feeling like... 'oh, so thats what it's all about, not so bad really!' The section about rules set by parents and going out is lovely and for a parent really is on our side, making more of showing how responsible you can be and your parents will love and respect you and give you more freedom. I found reading this book with my daughter very comfortable, and was really suprised when she told me she had never heard of periods before, BUT did know the facts of life!! I think I underestimated just how clued up a 9 year old is.
