Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the content. While I understand the book aims to cover a wide range of topics, I found that several sections were not appropriate for a child of this age and were not directly relevant to the core subject of puberty. As a parent, I felt that some of the information was too advanced and went beyond what I believe a younger child is ready for. I would advise other parents to read this book thoroughly before sharing it with their children to ensure it aligns with your family’s values and your child’s developmental stage. While this might be a helpful resource for older pre-teens, I regret this purchase for my younger child. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,061 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Children's Nonfiction on Maturing #3 in Children's Nonfiction on Sexuality & Pregnancy #15 in Children's Nonfiction on Girls' & Women's Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,688 Reviews | ## Images ![The Girls Guide To Growing Up: The Puberty Guide For Girls - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818czEunnQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely *by A***R on 26 June 2019* It was amazing!I love it ### ⭐ Disappointed Not the right fit for younger readers *by A***I on 17 July 2026* I purchased "The Girls' Guide to Growing Up" by Anita Naik hoping for a gentle, age appropriate introduction to puberty for my daughter.

So glad I bought it. I wanted her to be informed about human biology as she will enter middle school next year, but I wasn't sure how to explain everything from periods, matters and details of hygiene, to how babies are made without making her (or me, maybe) feel awkward. I have mom friends who are great at such explanations, while I have to think for quite some time how to say what and when. As she is reading the book, I can now talk to her about the content. She likes reading it so far. The content covers everything from the body changes to expect from puberty to where babies come from in short, factual, effective, child-appropriate, and friendly phrasing. The author succeeds at making girls feel normal about their soon-to-change bodies and gives them the information they need to understand what is going on. The illustrations show enough to support the text but without making the reading experience "weird." It is an informative book that even featured a fact or two (about the brain) that I wasn't aware of. Overall, the book normalizes puberty and girl's bodies, assures girls that they have control (to shave or not, to use different menstrual products that suit them, to continue sports), leaves room for inclusion (girls might find themselves thinking about a boy or a girl as they get older), addresses that boys undergo significant changes too, and provides the groundwork for other discussions we need to have with our kids as they grow older (it mentions that adults may use birth control to not have babies but does not go into detail). ## Frequently Bought Together - The Girls' Guide to Growing Up: the best-selling puberty guide for girls - Celebrate Your Body (and Its Changes, Too!): The Ultimate Puberty Book for Girls (Celebrate You, 1), for Girls Ages 8-12 - The Care and Keeping of You 1: The Body Book for Younger Girls (American Girl® Wellbeing) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/97823511-the-girls-guide-to-growing-up-the-puberty-guide-girls](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/97823511-the-girls-guide-to-growing-up-the-puberty-guide-girls) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
