We all need help sometimes
I gave the book to my daughter, to assist her with her daughter who is 9 years old now. The book is great. It covers all the things a little girl who is becoming a young teenager needs to know about her body changes and life in general. Wonderful!!

Tender Story about Belonging in a Family
A great read-aloud for grades pre-K through 2, this is a wonderful story of a boy just trying to establish a relationship with his rough and ready step-dad. Bonus sub-plot of mom pregnant with the step-dad's twins. Heart-warming ending. Great story for all kids, but ...

Wild Iris Bloom

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1993

Wild Iris Bloom
I really liked this book. The author gave alot of details. Another reason I liked this book was because it was a cliff-hanger. This book was filled with emotions. I was upset the way Iris treated her babysitter. I would reccommend this book to girls nine to fourteen. ...
