Great book!
I bought it for my 10 year old daughter for her birthday. So far so good! Its very graphic with great Illustrated pictures but some pages I just ask her to disregard until she's older (like the applying tampons section). Great starter to open the conversation about changes.

Good book for 9-10 years old
I heard a lot of recommendations for this book, and I checked it out of the library as well to look over it myself. It is listed as for ages 8-12. I feel most of the book is geared towards the younger end, 9 or 10 years old. It talks a lot about hygiene, proper nutrition and exercise. Here is where it might seem young for an 11 or 12 year old. It talks about upcoming changes in a girl's body as she matures. It does not go into too much detail here, just enough for a younger girl to digest. However there are a couple pictures that are kind of surprising, and I had to think about whether my (almost) 10 year old would be "weirded out" by it, name a two-page set of drawings showing how a girl will use a tampon. I decided to not worry about it, and when she came to it in ... I heard a lot of recommendations for this book, and I checked it out of the library as well to look over it myself.

I decided to not worry about it, and when she came to it in the book she seemed okay with it but asked me some questions. I can see a sensitive child being shocked or "grossed out" though. Other than that, I was very happy with the book and felt my daughter would get a lot of positive information out of it. I think I'd still recommend a parent looking through it first and seeing how they feel about the information in the book, if it will be beneficial to his/her daughter.

Wonderful!
My 9-year-old daughter and I have enjoyed reading this book together. Presents a lot of information I have already discussed with her. Of course, she likes that it is from American Girl, so it is a little more "credible" in her eyes than just mom. The information is very conservative. Focuses a lot on positive self-image. Addresses all that happens in their changing body and how to talk about it. Illustrations are great, very modest, but true to life. There is only one page I won't let her see yet. I just don't think it is necessary. It is the illustrated page on how to insert a tampon. I discussed it briefly with her as pads vs. tampons. I was excited to share this information with my daughter on special date nights. Just her and I. I am hoping to convey that our bodies are special and ...

My mother never talked to me about anything. I learned a warped worldly view of my body and sex. I do not want that for my children. I am grateful to the author & the American Girl Company for providing it.

The Care & Keeping of You by Valorie Schaefer
Valorie needs to be praised for taking the time to write a book with what your daughter will go through with puberty. I purchased the book for my 9 year old and she has read it and said it was a great book, but that she wasn't going to use tampons that that was gross! LOL! My 7 year old daughter partially read it and asked several questions which Valorie had explained, I just needed to read them to her. It is so important in this day and time for a child to understand the importance of keeping herself clean and using deodorant and brushing her teeth and bathing. This book prepares them for what to expect when they arrive at puberty and is very thorough. I love it!! Hope that one of you think of your daughter(s)(or any female family member) and purchase this...it's nothing to be ...

My mother didn't explain anything to me...I just knew from my sister and friends. I want my daughter(s) to be prepared. Thanks!
