The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls
I bought it when I was 9, lead by the low age recommendation.
For awhile I wanted such things as in this book to happen to me, but that quickly subsided, and I became terrified of such things, convinced they would happen to me THAT day.
I don’t worry about such things any more; wanting to be an actress saved me
But to parents – do you want your daughter’s childhood to be spoiled with such?
My advice; ignore this book; its horribly forward, does just what they claim not to – pushes you to grow up too fast. But if you must give it, wait untill she’s at least 13.

I bought ths book a number of years ago and flipped through it. I was around 9 at the time, and I didn’t think it was particularly amazing or evil. But now, at age 12, I look back at it and realize that the book is badly proportioned, for lack of a better word. The information given is extremely basic (don’t we all know how to brush our hair?), yet some of the sections are what I would consider pretty graphic. Cartoonic nudity? And on the back of the book it says ages 8 and up! Hah. Like I’d believe that. Do yourself and your girl a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Thanks Much,

I don’t find it necessary to buy a book on this; kids are generally self taught and most kids probably find this less than necessary and rather cheesy. It has tips on how to brush your teeth: I hope, that kids could brush their teeth sufficiently by the time they can even read the book. Everything we didn’t know from this book, is rather unnecessary like the shapes boobs can grow into, quite… informing? The kids who would probably do need this are the ones who are probably alienated from sex education but probably would be over-whelmed by cartoon diagrams of kids using tampons. It terrified me.

Yes, I did order this book for my grand daughter, and she is getting a lot out of it and enjoys it, will get a lot of good information, but if you are asking about my last shipment where you have sent out 2 of these books, then I am very unhappy as I did not order but only one book of this kind. Since this is going to a correctional facility I am in hopes of retriving it to be returned to you. I do not know how it happened, have never had this problem ever.

When I asked my mom what the differences were between boys and girls, she handed me this book to read. Man, how exciting! I learned a lot. But, my mom told me not to look at girls, because that is naughty and that girls lead to bad things like having fun and taking all of your money.
