I bought ths book a number of years ago and flipped through it. I was around 9 at the time, and I didn't think it was particularly amazing or evil. But now, at age 12, I look back at it and realize that the book is badly proportioned, for lack of a better word. The information given is extremely basic (don't we all know how to brush our hair?), yet some of the sections are what I would consider pretty graphic. Cartoonic nudity? And on the back of the book it says ages 8 and up! Hah. Like I'd believe that. Do yourself and your girl a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Thanks Much,D
