This is a great introduction to puberty book for the younger girls. Lots of cute graphics and information given in text box soundbites. Manages to glimpse over a lot of critical stuff including typical vaginal discharge, self-esteem, periods (again no cup mention), breasts and even divorce. Would skip it for girls older than 10.
