Great!
I bought this when my daughter was 12. We read it together and then she kept it as a review for future reference. She continued to look back at it as she had questions over the next few years. It was a great book and I would recommend it to anyone with a daughter nearing puberty. It was age appropriate and gains a stamp of approval from a conservative mom.

Just what I needed!
My son went through puberty early (10), and was too embarrassed to talk about anything. I gave him the book. He read it (he hid it, so I have no idea when he would sneak a peak!), and then when I would bring up things, he already knew about them, or would finally ask questions. It actually went along quite well with his school "family planning" program they have in the fifth grade. And I'm ...

Good Starter Book
The "The Driving Book: Everything New Drivers Need to Know but Don't Know to Ask" book was one of just a few choice reference sources for my safe driving CD "Mind the Road - Mind the Road: Waking Hypnosis for a Conscious Commute. The advice and recommendations from this book were an inspiration for the suggestions my audio CD gives to drivers as they start their drive to have a safe and focused ...

Wonderful Book
I gave this book to my 10 year old. She took one look at the title, and said "thank you Mommy, you really know what a girl needs". She read through the book within two days. It's very straightforward reading, and explains the changes occuring in the female body and what menses is all about. A great recommend for any 10 year old.

A Great Guide for All Ages
Five Ways to Know About You is clearly written for the younger crowd, but I found this to be a great book for adults as well. The book offers information on five different types of horoscope reading. Everything contained in the book is clear and easy to understand. If you are a novice in the field or just looking to investigate what the stars, the numbers, and your handwriting say about you or ...

Muy buen libro
Lo compre para mi sobrino de once anhos, porque es un poco timido y le costaba trabajo preguntar las dudas que seguramente tenia. Pero con este libro creo que aclaro algunas de ellas y sin pasar la pena de preguntarle a su mama. Esta muy bien escrito, me gusto que el lenguaje es sencillo, de acuerdo a su edad.

Teenagers Face to Face With Bereavement

The authors discuss what happens when illness or an accident precedes death, the funeral, shock and post-shock, and the range of feelings, and include especially valuable sections on possible reactions people have on the anniversary of a death, how to rebuild a life following ...
