American Girl Doll Books

I have LOVED the simplicity and straightfowardness of this first book here is the link for it. The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library)


  This review sums up exactly what I think -
"I bought this book for my 9 (soon to be 10) year old and was impressed by the head-to-toe body care topics it covered. It touches on everything from hair care, to face cleansing, to washing your hands, to exercising and nutrition. I was wondering how I was going to broach the topic of starting her period with my daughter and this sure helped relieve my anxiety. It covered it honestly, straightforward and not intimidating at all. I think it helped because it was only a minor focus of the entire body-care book. (A brief introduction to what a period is and how to handle it and the fact that it is completely NORMAL and all girls go through it)."
