Just for Girls

I have a ten year old girl who is developing and curious. This book helped to answer all of her questions and begin a good mother/daughter conversation for us. The illustrations are great. They are age appropriate and not too graphic. Great book. I'm going to use this when my 5 year old is old enough to begin this conversation.

This has been one of the most popular books in my 6th grade classroom library this year. My students, as is to be expected, are very curious about their bodies, and about the bodies of the opposite sex. This book does a nice job of explaining how things work, along with delving into feelings and the ins and outs of being a maturing girl. As I said, it's so popular that I can't seem to keep it on the shelf in my classroom. The book has sparked numerous healthy conversations about development and has given me many opportunities to dissolve myths that are pervasive in the minds of young people. It's a good resource, and kids relate well to the writing style and graphics.

This book is great for every mother to read to her daughter when all the questions a girl has about her body start coming up.

Great book to start the conversation about puberty

The "Just for Boys" book has been perfect for several boys that I know. I browsed bookstores looking for something similar for girls. (I was gravely disappointed by nearly all of the books. Even though they are geared for childhood girls, the focus on sexually transmitted diseases, the sex-trade industry, and one included illustrated drawings of sexual positions. My opinion is that this is TMI). Overview: This book talks about periods, puberty and has cross-sections diagrams of the insides of the sex organs. It talks about what boys go through during puberty, as well as girls. It follows periods, puberty, and emotions/relationships. What's great: 1. Wide range of topics, from nutrition to relationships to periods. 2. Drawings are age-appropriate and light-hearted. 3. Tabs let you flip to, "Body Talk," "Your Health," "Your Emotions," "Boy Stuff" and "Got a Problem?". What's missing: 1. The biggest disappointment: the birds-and-the-bees are not in this book (sperm & egg, and the basic act of sex) 2. "Just for Boys" includes illustrations of male and female bodies at various stages of life, from baby to adulthood. This is helpful for curious kids without being erotic. 3. Discrepancy on dating: early in the book they say that you don't need to date as a tween. Later in the book, in the Q&A section, they give dating advice. (My teacher bias is coming out here: I see tweens distracted and damaged by dating when their developmental stage should be self and world exploration). Summary: I like this book, it's helpful, but I am still needing a birds-and-the-bees resource that I can recommend for parents and friends.

This book is great for preparing girls for body changes. It is written short and to the point making it easy for girls to read. I would recommend this book for girls in 5th grade or older. It does discuss boy erections which is a little shocking at first but then I realized after talking to my daughter just how outspoken boys already are in her 5th grade class. I would definitely rather her read the facts and ask me questions rather than be uneducated and hear it all from the boys. It only touches briefly on the boy changes in order to let girls know that boys are in the same boat and going through similar changes. it DOES NOT talk about how to have sex so that is left to the parents which is better in my opinion. Hope thus helps! PS if you have a 5 below store near you they have both the girl and boy version available for $5 right now.

Great book for explaining the changes of life to young girls. Got this as a recommendation from another friend, and I've been very pleased. The first 3/4 of the book are great about explaining body changes, mood changes, and the feelings that come along with changing from a young girl to a young lady. The last 1/4 of the book deals more with menstruation and boys, so if you aren't ready for that conversation with your daughter, you may want to hold off.

Just for Girls is a book all young pre-teen girls should read. It spells out all the changes girls will go through in easy to understand language. A must have for girls!

Informative book aimed at tweenager stage (8 years onwards) appropriate for pre pubescent girls who are starting to ask questions about body changes which supplements what they are getting taught at school. Deals with physical changes and periods as well as nutrition, exercise and emotions. Small section on boys body changes. It doesn't cover sex. Easy to read with age appropriate illustrations and diagrams.

I love it.It have 96 pages and that 96 pages teach me so perfectly about what's going on inside my body.what's period why my breasts is hurting my all doubt are clearly now and am 13 yeah new teen so this book is so helpful to mee!!! thankyou Amazon 🫶🏼

I wanted a book that told my 10 year old daughter what was happening to her body but without mentioning sex as I feel she is not ready for that yet. After reading the reviews this book is perfect. Enough detail to explain what is happening and enough for her to ask questions.

I would recommend this book for any parent who has a girlkid turning 8/9 years old. I use the book more like a reference to talk to my girl. I don't read it with an intent to complete but going absolutely slowly to remove any doubts or myths in her mind . Definitely a must for a parent than a kid..

A very good book for growing girls. Covers all the necessary topics.
