I gave three "girl" books to my granddaughter for her 10th birthday this summer. The Big Book of Girl Stuff is far and away her favorite. She has carried it around with all its variant covers, shared it with friends and older cousins and regaled the whole family with facts and funnies--to her delight.
 Useful for parents too August 9, 2008

I found this book at my daughter's school library and borrowed it for myself. I have browsed portions of this book and I liked it. I am planning to copies for my daughter and my niece... or maybe for myself and my sister so we'd understand our growing girls better. See their world from their point of view and be able to intervene effectively when "girl" problems arise.
Apart from that, it is fun and funny. While clearly my generation is so different from my daughter's there are still parts of the book that bring nostalgia and draw giggles.
And it's also entertaining to peek into their "private", "moms are not allowed" worlds.
The big book of girl stuff ultimate review July 19, 2008

When I was at the bookstore, this book caught my eye right away. I looked at it, read the back, and that`s all it took to make me read it. As I flipped through the pages, I realized that this was the perfect book for me. I looked at the price . . . NEVER MIND!!! The next few trips at the bookstore I spent reading this book. Then I asked for it for my b-day.
I got it!
The suggestions were creative, and I could tell this was a, literally, big book of (awesome) girl stuff! I was surprised how MUCH I liked it. It was not for just little 8 year olds, but 8-13 girls.I strongly recommend this book!
It had a large variety of topics that any girl would enjoy.
Next time you go to the bookstore, look for this book and read it!

Me, a 13 year old, read this with my 12 year old friend and the whole time we were LAUGHING. The "cool slang" was terrible, and most of the stuff in there seemed to be aiming towards middle schoolers with the mentality of elementary schoolers. Of course, not everything was bad. But there was just enough of things that made me laugh out loud to make it a bad book. For example, an insult he gives is: "May the ice cubes from a 100 ice trays fill your bra!"
Yeah, a good insult if you want to be made fun of even MORE.
Also, the section on periods barely touches the surface. Basically it says talk to an adult because they don't know how comfortable people are with that information. Come on, it's The big book of GIRL stuff. You can talk about periods!
Overall, I can't see why this got so many great reviews. That made me literally lol.
