The Body Book for Girls (the Care and Keeping of You)
There is a lot to learn when growing from a little girl to a young woman, and this happy book from the American Girl company gets right to the point in a frank and warm conversational tone. There are no taboo topics—this head-to-toe guide answers every question! Covers basic hygiene and grooming, body changes, braces, bad breath, pimples, breast growth, first bra, shaving your legs, sleep problems, getting your period, choosing and using feminine products, nutrition, eating disorders, and emotions . . . plus lots more! (There is no information on sex.) Some of the colorful cartoon drawings are a bit graphic, but a girl has got to know what she needs to know, and this is the most user-friendly book I've found on the subject. Paperback, color drawings, 104 pages. |
