The Care and Keeping of You 2: The Body Book for Older Girls

my daughter loves this back and enjoys reading it with her friends

Fantastic book, covering the physical and emotional changes girls can expect during puberty in a positive and sensible way. My daughter (10) loves it. I looking for a book that was age-appropriate and did not go on to discuss sex and relationships, so this fit the bill perfectly. Don't let the 'American Girl' title put you off, it's perfect for Brits too!

I bought this book as a follow on from Book 1 which was great for my 10 year old. It helps her to understand her body and also gives tips & advice. I would say that this book is for more advanced girls maybe 11+, however my daughter is mature enough to take this information on board. It is Americanised so there are obvious words which are slightly different but shouldn’t put a young lady off. Happy reading!

Covers the basics well and in enough detail that doesn't leave room for confusion. As other reviews have covered lots of American dialogue but doesn't detract from the books purpose. More about what happens through puberty and how to take care of personal hygiene. Doesn't cover sex education.

Great book, my daughter found the first one really useful so ordered number 2. Clear and easy to follow, can be read and navigated alone by a child of 9 years up I’d say. Was hoping it would have had a section on birds and bees as it’s the one for ‘older girls’ but the content that is there is good and just at the right level I’d say.

clearly written in easy to understand language for younger teens. Best used jointly wit a parent. I liked the chatty style. Some 'Americanism' references but a good addition to previous preparing for puberty book.
