Book Review of What's Happening to My Body?: Book for Girls a Growing Up Guide for Parents and Daughters

I read through this before giving it to my daughter and was very impressed with the matter of fact tone of the writing. Covering everything from tracking your menstrual cycle to breast self exams to what's happening to boys at this age to slang words for body parts, I would have LOVED to have access to this book as a young teenager. I remember feeling very stupid about the subjects covered here and let's face it, most of us are too embarrassed to ask about or discuss these issues in the depth found here no matter what our age! I do think it is likely to be too much information for the younger end of the suggested age range which is 9-15.
