The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library) CustomerReview
This is a good book for pre-teen girls; however, I do not agree with the age 8+ that's stated on the back. When I purchased the book, I had every intention of giving it to my daughter for her 10th birthday to get her introduced to the changes she'll be going through for the next few years.
It gives good tips on how to manage yourself as you get older and deviate from a parental figure doing those things for you. Talks about eating healthy, pimples, boobs, hair growth, and hormones. Stresses that you should keep clean, stay social, and get exercise. Teaches not to judge others for their changing bodies or be jealous or critical of yourself. Very good lessons for girls to learn before those thoughts go through their heads.
But I don't believe the section regarding starting their cycle is age appropriate even for my 10 year old, so I wanted to put that out there for other parents. The book goes through explaing the what, how, why, and where scenarios as well as PMS and tracking, but it got a little too graphic for me when it lays out tampon insertion instructions in pictures. I believe that's a little too intimidating and scary for younger girls who don't fully understand their bodies.
