This book has a lot of great info for young girls and their changing bodies, how to take care of themselves, proper hygiene, and more.  From pimples to nutrition to hair care, this covers it all with cute illustrations.  While reading through this with my daughter I even read a few things I didn't know!  This is a great book for preteens.

This is a very good book. But don't make the same mistake I made. When I was about seven years old I bought this book. But it has some things for "older girls". But now that I am older I think it is very good. Just don't buy it when you are seven years old!
