Product Review
The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls is the bestselling guide answers all the questions growing girls have about their bodies - from hair care to healthy eating, bad breath to bra buying, pimples to periods. It offers guidance about basic hygiene and health without addressing issues of sexuality.
The book covers such innocuous topics as brushing your teeth and taking care of your hair. But it explains also about braces, and how to prevent head lice, and how often to shower; how to handle body odour and what to do when hair starts growing in new and unusual places. Nutrition, exercise and athletes feet are addressed.
Of course, there is plenty of data on how to find a bra that fits. It answers the question, what happens when a girl menstruates, and how to practice good hygiene. There is a brief discussion about body image, and it's all very positively handled in the book. As parents, it is important to be open and honest with your daughters about life and their bodies. This is the PERFECT book to start with!
