This book answers all the embarrassing questions young girls will have about their bodies using straightforward and positive words. "Growing up" can be used as a reference book or read through in its entirety. I do wish I had this book when my daughter (now 20) was a tween. We covered most of this material, but with this book it could have been much easier, more straightforward and much more thorough. Chapter 7 was the perfect ending. All girls compare them selves to other girls, especially the magazine and TV stars. It states that 60% of tweens get their ideas about right body types from the media. The book then analyses how the top models use hair extensions, take hundreds of photos before choosing the right photo, and of course do lots of photo editing. Great book for any parent ready to discuss puberty with their young daughters. I'll be passing this one off to my friend with two daughters!
