1) Paperback Book The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library) by American Girl. Wonderful book for young preteen girls. My daughter loved the book and was excited to learn more about her body and ask me any questions that she had.¤ 2) Paperback Book The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library) by American Girl. I bought this book for my 12 year old daughter and she loves it! She was so excited about this book, she shared it with one of her friends.¤ 3) Paperback Book The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library) by American Girl. This book is exactly what we needed! My 8-year-old daughter and I just finished reading it together and it was a perfect way to introduce her to puberty and all it entails. It is written for young girls in a way that doesn´t talk down to them but is also completely appropriate for girls 8 and up. I appreciated the discussions about the emotions and difficulties girls face during puberty, beyond just the "facts." My thanks to the authors! I will be recommending this to all of my mom friends who have girls.¤ 4) Paperback Book The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library) by American Girl. This book is a great introduction for 8-9 year old girls on how their bodies work. I thought it had just the right amount of information for my 8 1/2 year old. She is not ready for, or interested in, detailed scientific descriptions about the "facts of life." The material is presented in a very straightforward way and covers a wide range of topics from dental care, to shaving, to menstruation. The book helped me introduce topics to my daughter in a very matter-of-fact way without embarassment or making a big deal out of it. I will be recommending it to my friends with young girls.¤ 5) Paperback Book The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library) by American Girl. The Care & Keeping of You:
The Body Book for Girls
Where was this book when I was growing up? What a great book for girls.
As a mother of three girls and a grandmother of four girls, I give thumbs up to The Care & Keeping of You.
I began reading this book with my nine-year-old granddaughter, Autumn. She enjoyed learning about how to brush her hair, and her teeth. She loved the illustrations and the advice. We each took a turn reading.
When it came to the chapter about her period, she said, "Please don´t make me read that part, right now. I want to read the rest of the book, but I want to wait until I´m around 12 to read that part."
I told her, "Sure, we can wait. But at least you know the book is here, if you need to know about it."
She is growing up in a home with a mom and two older sisters, and her mom as already had "the talk" with her.
The chapter about developing is great. All girls don´t develop at the same rate. Some are uncomfortable because they aren´t developing, while others are unhappily, developing too fast. It tells the girls that they are all different and that they have many other great things about them. They should focus on their smiles, or their talents, not what others think about them. Above all, hold their heads up and keep good posture.
I think a book that answers all the questions a girl will have, growing up, is a great idea. This book also encourages the girls to talk to their mothers or an adult they can trust.
