I felt that it was a perfect way to introduce the conversation about the changes that go through, about periods and bras which are difficult subjects to discuss and Judy Blume did a lovely job to explain it and initiate THE conversation.

While I might not have been as cognizant of my body as Margaret was, I can relate to thinking even in a very obscure way, many of the thoughts she expressed here

I loved the funny, hilarious way Judy Blume depicted an everyday family

When Margaret finally has a conversation with her, she insults Laura in basically the worst possible way by playing on her insecurities

Don't find yourself,a few years down the road, wondering how your daughter's views on things got so messed up simply because you took the easy way out

5 Stars all the way, highly recommend!

it was a great way for teenagers to find out about what they are going to go to.

And she does it in a very honest way

Reading a chapter a day is a good way to introduce third and fourth graders to chapter books

Revisit that in a gentle way as written in this book

I think this book with out a doubt is a fabulous and funny way to teach girls what its like to grow up.

If this book is presented in the right way, it can be used as a great learning tool

She also finds out the hard way that you shouldn't believe everything you hear

Judy Blume has such an amazing way of communicating to pre-teen girls about all the questions many of them are afraid to ask their parents

Covers religion and adolescence in a funny, insightful and charming way - without dogma or opinion

Judy Blume has presented all her books in such an outstanding way

I liked the way they said men-stooration in the video.

It is a good way to show you about the life of a 4th grader

Since it's narrated by the author, I though this would be a great way to hear the story from the author's perspective.

I like the straight forward way she handles the problems.

And I loved the way the author describes Peter's anger with

I rated it so high because it tells you the truth and what's about to happen in a nice and entertaining way that's not gross

I really like the way this book is written and I will definitely purchase more Judy Blume books after reading this book.

Great way to get your kids to read.

It portrays the lives of children in a funny, comical way that all '4th graders' will be able to relate to...even if they don't have younger siblings

and she does a wonderful job and the way she portrayed

This book deals with the changes that occur for young girls in a candid, sensitive, humorous way.

I nearly died and wanted to in the worse way

I enjoyed the way Blume introduced this as well, showing us Margaret's private talks with God.

I loved the funny, hilarious way Judy Blume depicted an everyday family

The second issue that disturbed me was the way Margaret handled the physical changes she was going through

When Margaret finally explodes in anger, they take is the wrong way and tell her it's " Not too late" to help her

It was funny because they talked about puberty in a funny way

This book is a great way to start having wonderful daughter-mom conversations about life and being a girl/woman.

It afforded plenty of opportunity to discuss the sensitive topics of puberty, pre-teen relationships and religion in a gentle and amusing way

I like the way the story ended because Peter got a dog which Fudge can’t eat at all

When their new teacher arrives, he introduces himself in a very odd way to the children: "Now then... uh... we know my name

It is written truthfully and in a positive enough way that young girls can identify themselves with it.

This book addresses many issues in a very realistic way.

You begin to wish that she would grow a backbone once in a while instead of sobbing "my baby" whenever Fudge misbehaves in a dangerous way.

Whether he is ruining Peter's homework or swallowing his pet turtle, Fudge is always finding new ways to annoy his brother

She is a great descriptor and has a wonderful way of keeping you attached to the book

Funny and entertaining way to talk about growing up.

There is like no way a child can swallow a turtle, plain and simple.

The question is, what is the best way to communicate this to children?

I liked the way Margret talked to God, and asked questions that I would want to know

There are some suggestions of sexuality through the book, but not in an inappropriate way

I enjoyed reading it as a

I loved it as a

& I know she'll enjoy as much as I did

week?Was she actually looking forward to the next period, now that she had actually experienced one?Was she actually looking forward to getting periods every couple of weeks for many years to come?Was the reality as wonderful as she imagined it to be?I hated this book, but this would have been a chapter that I would have loved to read

But I wanted to grow up just as fast as

This is a wonderful book I enjoyed as a

I hope she enjoys it as much as I did

Peter's parents are trying very hard to meet both of the boy's needs, but Fudge-as a strong-willed toddler- does kind of suck up most of their time and energy, while Peter spends a good deal of time being used to manage his brother; unfortunately, a rather normal dynamic for some families

I must have read it fifty times and each time was as great as the time before

and I love that I can save money as well as, recycle and save paper.
