Book Reviews of "What's Happening to Me?" A Guide to Puberty
Book Review: Good for a 10 year old
Summary: 3 Stars
I appreciated that it had enough information without getting too involved with older/more complicated topics. It was cute and easy to read, so it was comfortable for my daughter.Book Review: Not for a 10 year old girl.......or boy
Summary: 2 Stars
I am not clear on why anyone would think this is appropriate for a 10 year old girl. Obviously, the one review that say's they do not understand why anyone would give out a less than glowing review, does not have children...as stated.
A couple of things that were a little disturbing for a 10 year old...the statement about breasts, "no matter what your breasts look like both boys and men (men????!!!) will be attracted to them and find them perfect"! I put this book away until my daughter is a little older, maybe 12.
A great book for a 9-11 year old girl is the American Girl book "The care and keeping of you". I purchased this at the same time. It is tastefully done and give just the girl facts, without including who is going to like your breasts, masturbation, or talking about how boys get erections, etc.
I think the boys anatomy and things that happen to them is for just a little older than 9-11. As well as if you have a boy, maybe look for a book directed specifically at boys until they are a little older.
Book Review: Pick another book.
Summary: 2 Stars
Written by the same person who wrote the bestselling "Where Did I Come From?" (see Picture Books), this book has fine content, but fails to appeal to its older target audience. At this point, most children have probably outgrown the laugh-out-loud-about-puberty stage, and would prefer a more earnest, straightforward tack. Try Lynda Madras' titles for boys and girls, or "It's Perfectly Normal."Book Review: OK
Summary: 2 Stars
I wouldn't recommend this book it is OLD and out of date.
The book was in excellent condition though.
Book Review: Watch Out!
Summary: 1 Stars
If you are Catholic or Christian, this probably isn't the book for you. I bought it because it is frank and honest; but when I recieved it I was disappointed to see that masturbation is graphically explained (how to) and the book states that it is harmless, normal part of development. If this is not your belief, skip this book.
