What Our Readers Say…
Fantastic Resource for Parents and Kids!, January 25, 2016I have three daughters and have bought all three of Dr. Metten’s books on Anatomy for Girls. They are a wonderful way to start an early conversation with your children about how their bodies work. Most books only talk about the psycho/social aspects of puberty, but these books are pure science. I now have an eleven, nine and six year old and each book in their age range perfectly addresses their questions. Thank goodness this book came out as my daughter entered middle school! By starting the conversations early, we seem to have avoided a lot of the embarrassment and shyness that many of my friends have experienced with their kids.

Excellent!An excellent educational resource explaining girl anatomy. I read this book from my own perspective as a parent and elementary school teacher, and I found the contents to be very engaging, and presented in a clear and interesting manner. The visuals were helpful because they showed the anatomy being explained. The book itself is written in a natural conversational format with a Doctor Metten comfortably explaining girl anatomy and answering the questions of several curious girls.I wish I had this book when my children were young. It contains information every child should (and would want to) know. This book would encourage dialogue and lead to more openness on a sensitive and sometimes avoided topic. It would be a valuable resource for parents of young girls and I highly recommend it.
