The book is great. It covers all the things a little girl who is becoming a young teenager needs to know about her body changes and life in general. Wonderful!!             What's Going on Down There?: Answers to Questions Boys Find Hard to Ask44 reviews Karen Gravelle, Nick Castro, ... Walker Books for Young Readers, 1998 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 ...             What's Happening to Me?: Boys Edition (What's Happening to Me?)5 reviews Alex Firth Usborne Books, 2007 Excellent Book! My son just turned 10 and I want him to be prepared (he sees his 11 year old sister "changing" and he's interested in when his own puberty will start) and has been watching for his own new hair growth. We needed a book that addressed his interest and possible concerns about what puberty was and what to expect for himself. This book fit the bill exactly! It has very accessible text, nice color ...             Taking Care of Myself: A Hygiene, Puberty and Personal Curriculum for Young People with Autism2 reviews Mary Wrobel Future Horizons, 2003 Suitable for boys and girls on the autism spectrum My son turned ten a few months ago so I decided Personal Hygiene and Puberty were topics we needed to delve into. I am very glad I purchased this book since it covered Deodorant, shaving, growth spurts and using a urinal. My 10 year old is high functioning and his almost nine year old sibling is non-verbal and could benefit from some of the chapters as he gets older. Throughout the book ...             Puberty Survival Guide for Girls4 reviews Dr. Eve Anne Ashby iUniverse, Inc., 2005 This book helped me understand my body. My father gave me this book and I wished I had it sooner because it explained alot of things about my body and how I am changing. I haven't had a period yet but this book explained how it happens and why being a woman is so special.             American Medical Association Boy's Guide to Becoming a Teen17 reviews American Medical Association, Kate Gruenwald Pfeifer Jossey-Bass, 2006 Great book for "almost teens" I got this book for my 10 year old son. It is a good book with all the "needed" information, but yet isn't too detailed on things they don't need to know about YET. It was very well written & I think it a good starting point for families w/young boys.             Sex, Puberty, and All That Stuff: A Guide to Growing Up1 review Jacqui Bailey Barron''s Educational Series, 2004 Sex Puberty etc. Guide for Growing Up This book is comprehensive and includes even the "sticky" information you may not want to talk about, but should. I used this with my son the summer before he entered middle school. I wanted him to have the knowledge from me, before he learned incorrect info from someone else.             "What's Happening to Me?" A guide to puberty32 reviews Peter Mayle Lyle Stuart, 2000 Great book! This was recommended by my nephew and nieces as the most informative book about puberty (when I asked them). It is really good. It is to the point, but keeps it lighthearted. It addresses a lot of good questions and worries kids have but won't ask. I HIGHLY recommend it.             The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library)269 reviews Valorie Schaefer American Girl, 1998 Where Was This Book When I Was Growing Up? 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 ...             Puberty Boy3 reviews Geoff Price Allen & Unwin, 2006 My son loved this book This book, written by Geoff Price, an Australian author, offers a realistic and detailed description of what happens-both physically and emotionally-to boys at puberty. My 9 1/2 year old son was thrilled to read it and found it was everything but tacky and most helpful. The illustrations are not comically unrealistic: they are subtle and to the point, without being overwhelming. This book is very ...             Autism - Asperger's and Sexuality: Puberty and Beyond9 reviews Jerry Newport, Mary Newport Future Horizons, 2002 great review does the job! I found the first customer review the most useful in convincing me to immediately order this book. The review was so explicit as to what was in the book (or to be more specific, what was not), that it sounded perfect for my heterosexual son with a mild case of AS. Thanks!             Making Sense of Sex: A Forthright Guide to Puberty, Sex and Relationships for People With Asperger's Syndrome1 review Sarah Attwood Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2008 a terrific book This is a wonderfully valuable book. Bracingly clear and comprehensive, it is one that any person with Asperger's Syndrome could turn to with confidence and pleasure. More than that, though, it's a book that anyone with any questions at all about sex would find useful. I know that when I was an adolescent with hard-to-ask questions in the 1960s, it would have been a godsend. But as a father of a ...             Early Puberty in Girls: The Essential Guide to Coping with This Common Problem1 review Paul Kaplowitz Ballantine Books, 2004 very helpfull guide i bought this for a research paper i had to do, and it was especially helpful, the best research i found on the topic, and it was also helpful when i had to talk to my little sister about puberty             Puberty Blues4 reviews Kathy Lette Picador, 2002 Timeless Aussie Humour "Puberty Blues" can be read in a few hours. It's a short novel, written in simple, yet clever teenage prose. The Aussie vernacular used in this book is hilarious, and Sydney-siders will definitely relate to its setting (Cronulla). Two 13 year old girls, Deb and Sue, seek to get out of "Dickheadland" and into the Greenhill gang who are surfie and respected. Puberty Blues marks the journey of 2 ...             Gender Differences at Puberty (Cambridge Studies on Child and Adolescent Health) Cambridge University Press, 2003 Focusing on the emergence of gender difference as a major life transition, this study provides a summary of interdisciplinary research that includes contributions from an international team of leading experts.

Topics covered in this volume include biological aspects of ...             The Feelings Book: The Care & Keeping of Your Emotions (American Girl)39 reviews Lynda Madison American Girl, 2002 A book for every one! Don't get misled by the cover. This book is for girls at any age. . . Really.. As we grow older, people assume we know things that we are not supposed to know. For instance, how to keep and take good care of our emotions and feelings.. This is the book that will get you started..             Puberty Girl Shushann Movsessian Allen & Unwin, 2005 Offering a fun, sassy, and girl-power?inspired approach to understanding puberty, this beautifully packaged guide offers tweens an appealing and fresh take on entering adolescence.

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.             What's the Big Secret?: Talking about Sex with Girls and Boys25 reviews Laurie Krasny Brown Little, Brown Young Readers, 2000 Birds + Bees + Kids Pick! A great book for kids 5 and under, it covers the basic information kids need to know about how babies are made, okay/not okay touches and families. Its fun cartoon illustrations make it an engaging read for the preschool set. I love the drawings of naked boys and girls that show how we are alike and different. At this age, kids are very curious about body parts, both public and private, and ...             Changes in You and Me: A Book About Puberty Mostly for Boys1 review Paulett Bourgeois Key Porter Books, 2005 Not outstanding in a field of gems. Similar to the Madaras books, with a copy each for girls and boys, but doesn't quite live up to the legacy. Includes transparent plastic overlays at several points to illustrate changes, but the overlays seem more like a gimmic than a useful tool. Generally good layout, with an attractive mix of pictures, text and interactive sections. Includes a small amount of information on STD's, AIDS ...              search for books adolescent, american, answers, asperger, association, becoming, cambridge, changes, curriculum, differences, edition, emotions, essential, everything, feelings, forthright, happening, keeping, library, medical, personal, problem, puberty, questions, relationships, sexuality, studies, survival, syndrome, talking books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
