Review: A must read for young girls! Great to read together!! - I cannot say enough great things about this book! I got it on a recommendation from a trusted friend, and I am so glad that I did! I have been reading it ever night with my nine year old daughter. Each section covers a topic that makes for great conversations between us. Some of the feelings discussed are anger, sadness, loneliness, jealousy, etc... My daughter always says, "how does it know exactly what I am feeling???" When she realizes that the book is written for girls her age because everyone feels these feelings, it gives her more peace about the emotions she is feeling to know that they are completely normal. There are questions submitted from kids (not sure if they are real or just sample questions, but they are good and easy to relate to), then they offer advice, similar to an advice column in a paper. So far, I haven't found any advice that I disagree with! I like that the advice doesn't offer one solution, but different ideas and suggestions so your daughter can think about what would work best for her personality. These are important topics that need to be discussed. However, I found that many times, they were being discussed as they were happening. It's hard to talk to your child about anger when they are angry. This is an opportunity to talk about them when you are further away from the situation and able to think more clearly. I feel like it has brought my daughter and I closer together. We look forward to reading The Feelings Book every night!
Review: Great for pre-pubescent daughter... - I had a Gen-Z co-worker recommend this for my daughter (and the other American Girl books) and it's been a great thing for her. These books have helped her learn more about her body, feelings, and the changes that will be coming. She is now talking to me about these things which allows her to be able to talk about these issues with her body, emotions, feelings, or mind without any stigma.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for young girls! Great to read together!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for pre-pubescent daughter...
*by A***C on September 1, 2024*

I had a Gen-Z co-worker recommend this for my daughter (and the other American Girl books) and it's been a great thing for her.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book for pre-teen hormonal girls
*by M***E on December 9, 2016*

My daughter has definitely been exploding with hormonal rage lately. After a 1 hour tantrum about brushing teeth I asked some friends for advice and this book was suggested. I thought it may be hard to get my daughter to read it because she isn't a girly girl and has no clue about American girl dolls (or any dolls that aren't Minecraft related). However after telling her about it, her complaining that it looks "too long" she snuck it into her bedroom when I wasn't looking and started reading it. She was intrigued by the survey type aspect of the book, it asks you a bunch of multiple choice questions about who you react to certain situations. And that I think is what has hooked her. Now every night after reading when I go back to tuck her in she is talking to me about the book and asking me questions. This book at the very least has started so good dialogue, and although it contains a lot of things that I have tried to tell my daughter already, because the info is coming from a source other than mom or dad, she is listening. No life changing things happening yet for her, she is still trying to rein in her rage outbursts but we also haven't had any 1 hr tantrums again yet either.
