Looking for "Age Appropriate" Books on Puberty for My 8 Year Old Daughter.

The resource I have is Christian, if you don't mind that....any Christian bookstore probably would carry a series of books called "Here's Lily". I got mine at Young Women of Faith (google women of faith) website, and I'm sure they have other such resources. The Lily series contains pairs of books, a fiction story coupled with a nonfiction about growing up and bodily changes with workbook-style pages to fill in. My daughter and i spent many years reading these stories together....they make you laugh and cry, and are full of good values and important lessons. The one that dealt most with the bodily changes was called Lily Robbins M.D. (medical dabbler) and was accompanied by The Body Book. They are written by Nancy Rue and published by ZonderKidz. In fact if you are interested, I probably still have most of them and could send them to you! My daughter is now 15 and these books are aimed at the 8-12 age group. Let me know if you are interested!!

Look into American Girl's "The Care & Keeping of You - The Body Book for Girls". I saw it at Walgreens, it has child friendly illustrations, from hair styles, clothing, sanitary pads, etc. You can check it on-line: www.store.americangirl.com.
I thought to buy it for my daughter, but she is only 2!
I think it's a great resource for pre teens.
Good luck!

My 11yr daughter has a book called "The Care of Keeping of You." It is part of the American Girl library. The book is about $10 and I've seen it at Target and Barnes and Noble. My daughter has had it for a couple years and reads it ALL the time. This book covers everything from the care of your body to puberty and even proper eating. I love this book, its very easy to understand and makes some of the tough question easier. Good Luck!!!

I have a friend that has a little girl age 6. She has the same issue, more hair than her mother does. Let me know if you find any books...thanks

My favorite is the one by American Girl dolls- The Care and Keeping of You

try at book called "whats going on down there for girls"- my son has the one for boys and we LOVE IT!!! it is very good has lots of questions with anwswers

"American Girl" has a very good book on growing up and develoing which is great. I bought it for my grandaughters and all their friends bought it.

I got my daughter, who is now 14, "THE CARE AND KEEPING OF YOU" its from the American Girl Library. It's a great book! I still catch her referring back to it all the time.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE (PRE)TEEN yrs ;)

Go to Google and type in early puberty...TONS of info and book suggestions came up.................All the best to you.

I am a pediatrician and a mother of a 12-year-old girl. We bought The Keeping and Care of You by American Girl. It was a life-saver. My daughter loves it. I bought it for her when she was about 9 or 10. Nothing too risque or scarry.

Hope it helps
