I didn't get too many suggestions--titles follow below. I also saw a advertisement for a book called Before She Gets Her Period by Gillooly that looks interesting. It can be read by the child and the parents--even dad. Another verbal recommendation I received was for Growing Up-Its a Girl Thing by Jukes--an edited version of her It's A Girl Thing title. Great book...paperback...called "What's Happening to Me?" by Peter Mayle, illustrated by Arthur Robins, ISBN 0-8184-0312-8. Very humorous approach to puberty. Kids love it and parents find its content factual, but in a lighter vein. They also wrote "Where Did I Come From?" which is equally good. Don't be put off by the 1975 and 1973 publication dates. These are worth looking into. I purchased my new copies from Barnes & Noble. Bourgeois, Paulette Changes in you and me : a book about puberty mostly for girls Bourgeois, Paulette. Changes in you and me : a book about puberty mostly for boys. They are a little advanced for 2nd grade but the books are very comfortable and non-threatening. I have always been a fan of Linda Madaras and her "What's Happening to My Body Book for Boys" and "...for Girls." Very straightforward, positive works. I also own many of Rosen's _Coping_ series books; they have one called "Now that You've Got Your Period." Lighter, less information; Readable, at a guess, down to the fourth or fifth grade level. -- Jean Schmuker K-12 Library Media Coopersville Schools Coopersville, MI 49404 sschmuker@voyager.net =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
