Book Reviews of "What's Happening to Me?" A Guide to Puberty
Book Review: 8+ year olds: excellent, gentle, caring book about puberty
Summary: 5 Stars
A very gentle, caring book for children of about age 8, who can expect to start going through puberty. Covers issues of: why puberty happens, how the appearance of bodies change, hormones, breast development, erections, menstruation, deepening of voice, pimples, masturbation, body hair, wet dreams, and circumcision. This book follows on from, and is in the same style as "Where Did I Come From?". Extremely popular, all children should have easy access to this volume from age 8 onwards.Book Review: What's Happening to Me is EXCELLENT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased What's Happening to Me in the early 80's and used it to help me talk to my daughters about puberty as they reached the appropriate age. I recently pulled it out to give it to my son who is now 11. My daughters 22, 18, and 16 were quickly reminded of the days when I introduced them to the book. They all wanted to read it again! What's Happening to Me helped to make what could have been a frightening experience, one of understanding and acceptance - without embarrassment.Book Review: Book - What's Happening To Me?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for children nearing or into puberty. We bought it for an autistic child and it is truly great. It covers all the facts and expresses a complicated subject in a simple, child-like manner easily understood by any child from about age 7 or 8 and up. This is the only book I have encountered that I would recommend for any school-based sex education curriculum. Any parts that might be considered "explicit" are quite tastefully handled without watering down the subject.Book Review: the best learning tool for pre teens
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my children when they were ten years old. They are now 35, 33, and 31 with children of their own. This is why I bought this book again for them because I now have 5 grandchildren and I know that "WHATS HAPPENING TO ME" will be a perfect educational aid for my children to educate my grandchildren.
Thank You
Book Review: I wish I'd had this book when I was a kid.
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband did, and we are saving it for our daughter. The approach is matter-of-fact and light, and there is no preaching. The illustrations are priceless. The text features the best-ever explanation of an orgasm (it's kind of like a sneeze!) I can't imagine a better book to introduce kids to the concept of puberty.
