 Girls Only is a great book! December 23, 2008
I am 9 and my mum got me this book because I wanted to know more about what happens when I get a bit older and maybe start my periods. It's easy to read with "friendly" text. I feel that it explains a lot about changes that happen to girl in a nice way with lots of nice pictures. I liked the Girltalk speech bubbles. It's something that you can share with your mum or a best friend because it doesn't have any information in it that I would be embarrassed about. (I'm very pleased I got this for my daughter. I'd bought her another one which wasn't so good and saw an Amazon reviewer, aged 10, who recommended this. I'm glad I took her advice!)

I have bought a number of these types of books, read them and not given them to my daughter as they seemed "wrong". This one is the one I gave to her and it's pitched perfectly. My daughter is nearly 10. There was enough information but not too much. It is based around periods, hormones, spots and body changes. It touches on sex but not in detail and it satisfied my daughters light curiosity without me needing to move onto "the talk". She savoured what was in it and feels happy and confident about it all. She has even loaned it to friends. The font is good, the text has a modern chatty feel, it is a good book for girls aged 9-12. Recommended.

I bought this for my curious 9 year old daughter as a book for us to read together in conjuction with the excellent "Let's talk about where babies come from". These were the first books I'd bought on the subject of puberty and sex education; before that we'd only looked at Clare Rayner's "The Body Book" (perfect for younger children). "Girls Only!" is perfect for introducing the subject of periods in a modern, chatty and matter of fact way. The illustrations and graphics are funky and appealing and the front cover instantly attracted my daughter's attention. She picked it up, asked what it was, and I said that I'd bought her a new, special book about growing up. She asked if we could read it together, which was great, but having read the book first I'd have been just as comfortable letting her read it alone if that's what she'd wanted.
I'd say the way the book is written is perfect for girls of 9 and upwards. I love the way it doesn't assume that every girl reading the book has a mum to chat to about periods and it even gives tips on how to raise the subject of periods if you live with your dad. It's not patronising and manages to draw the reader in as if the book is a kind and fun friend or relative.
As well as periods, the book covers hygiene, boys, spots, myths about periods, and a useful glossary of medical terms and how to pronounce them. All in all it's exactly what I'd hoped for and I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

I bought this for my daughter (9)a while ago when she started asking questions. Although happy to discuss the subject with her, she is an avid reader so I thought a book she could refer to would be a good thing for her to have too.
It is perfect for girls!
She is now 10 & this book is well-thumbed and still comes out constantly. She is confident with what it has taught her & as some of her friends have it too, they all discuss the topic together. I'm still recommending it to friend as their daughters grow.
Excellent!

This book really tackles the subject well.
My daughter's school started covering basic sex education, puberty & reproduction in year 5 in PHSE and my daughter felt that everyone at school knew all about this stuff except her.
So in addition to talking to her we got her this book to read when she was 10 and it was just right. She keeps it under her pillow in bed and frequently refers to it. It speaks the reader just like a reponsible big sister!
