Whats happening to me
I bought this book for my 9 ( nearly 10 year old) as she is learning about growing up at school and is a bit uncomfortable with it we read it a few days ago and it's really helped her to feel a bit better about things. It's a really good book easy for her to read and understand. Well worth the money

Too much, too soon
I purchased this for my 9yr old but upon looking through it we decided it was perhaps a little bit too graphic for a child of her age. The detailed, labelled picture of a vagina and clitoris isn't what I want her to know about just yet, neither is the subject of shaving her legs. Reproduction and puberty yes, the othervstuff no.

The ideal book
For all those early developers who need clear information about changing body. Helped answer awkward questions some parents may find difficult to explain in a factual light hearted honest language. Depending on age and child it's worth buying both books.

Brilliant book
This is such a good book for my 9 year old daughter. She felt comfortable reading it and understanding it all. Very well written. So happy to have purchased it.

Great little book.
Bought two of these books for my 11 yr old grandaughters. Informative and easy to read. Heard plenty of giggling and comments. Talking to mums about book. Also having boys section a great idea.

Great, informative read.
Bought this for my younger sister who is 10. I will probably help guide her through the content she reads just because children today want to grow up to quickly and the book discusses sexual content but I think it is a great book and will definitely help her understand the changes that are/will happen to her body.

making "those" talks much easier
this is a great book. Daughter is 9 and very curious. we read it through together then she has read it alone and come back with questions. all areas of puberty are covered and theres a small section on boys and what they go through - be prepared for wet dream discussions. language is right for their age and the drawings are well thought out.

Ideal for young girls
My daughter really appreciated this book. Finds it easy to follow and understand. If she has a question and is a bit embarrassed she will look at the book before she asks me to explain in more depth.

Good but a little too much detail for younger girls
My daughter (8) is beginning with puberty at an early age and this book is brilliant for her to get a better understanding of what's happening to her. Although, there is a little too much detail for younger girls under 10/11. We read it together so I can explain and more so, because she doesn't need to know about boys stuff yet. Very good book though! Could possibly be split into 2 books for younger girls!

Book
This was a great book to help educate our daughter on body changes. She also has special needs so was good that it written in a way that she could understand with good illustrations
