The "What's Happening to My Body" Book for Boys, Revised Third Edition (What's Happening to My Body?)

3 reviews

A Solid Book for a Parent and Adolescent to go Through Together
Previous reviews have knocked this book for presenting anatomical drawings, medical descriptions, and even slang - assumably for teaching too much. While I understand the fear a parent feels, I believe the presentation is appropriate. Further it seems important that an adolescent know these terms. They will be used by teachers and schoolmates increasingly from Junior High forward. An ...

Essential reading for young girls and women
My mother bought me an earlier edition of this book when I was nine. I am 23 now, and over the years I have recognized again and again how much I have benefited from What's Happening to my Body. Puberty can be a confusing and scary time... I remember many times when I went to the book for information when I was worried that I wasn't "normal." The real life anecdotes were especially comforting to ...

Laughing out Loud
If you loved the movie, you're going to love this book. Diablo Cody's script had audiences howling with laughter in theaters across the country, and no doubt some of that laughter caused you to miss some of the ensuing dialogue. This book enables you to relive the movie, catch the lines you missed, and relive the great feeling you had while watching the film enfold. Recommended! Especially ...

This is a great gift for a friend who is not too uptight. I got it for my brother. It will definitely make you laugh. My favorite is the parody of Dr Strangelove.

Ready, Set, Grow!: A What's Happening to My Body? Book for Younger Girls

A great introduction for "tweens"
I bought this book (along with a stack of others) to begin a dialogue with my 9 year old about the facts of life. Of all the books I reviewed, this one most well suited my daughter, with its colorful (and playful) illustrations and conversational tone (she loved the "eew gross!" references!). It adequately (and thoroughly) begins the discussion of how her young body is beginning to change, ...

I Went From Feeling Helpless to Empowered
My beagle suffers from hip dysplasia and arthritis. The medication the vet prescribed helped, but my dog was still in a lot of pain. Out of desperation I decided to check out books on dog message and canine acupressure. The techniques outlined in this book worked miracles. My dog is now able to move with greater ease and with a lot less pain; in fact, at times he has the energy and stamina of ...

On your mark get set grow was a hit.
On Your Mark, Get Set, Grow!: A "What's Happening to My Body?" Book for Younger Boys (What's Happening to My Body?)I purchased this for my godson. He is starting to wonder what will happen to his body next and his mother was concerned because he was trying to look it up on the internet. She is a single parent since his father passed away and she didn't know how to help him learn about his own ...

Rescue Me: Uncensored: The Official Companion

Newmarket, 2007

Leary's Laughs
I have been a big fan of Denis Leary for years. The Rescue Me Show is by far the best thing offered on television these days. Realistic writing, true feelings mixed with shades of insanity make this show the best ever. I welcomed the companion book and found it a hoot to read. Getting the background behind the scene gives one a true understanding from the writers point of view. I got more ...

Frederick Leboyer

Newmarket Press, 1997

Leboyer's massage instruction is poetry!
Beautifully written, with photos to demonstrate the techniques that could be an art book in and of themselves. You get a feeling of being a part of something magical and wonderful by reading this book and practicing what's in it. I love the simplicity of this book. Highly recommend it for new moms or anyone interested in infant massage.

If you didn't like the movie as you watched it, then you'll gonna love it after you read this script!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: The Shooting Script (Newmarket Shooting Script Series)

Charlie Kaufman, Michel Gondry

Newmarket Press, 2004

Thought provoking and truly original
This was a movie I didn't expect to like. I hadn't heard that much about it and wasn't all that enthusiastic about seeing another Jim Carey movie. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. First of all, this movie is truly original. That's rare these days. It revolves around the premise that you can erase someone from your memories. In this case, the "someone" to be erased is Kate Winslet's ...

The Words of Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

Comparable to Proverbs
It is like the Book of Proverbs in the Bible. Gandhi's seemingly superhuman insight on virtue is indeed deeply moving. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to hear many of the words of the wisest.

Newmarket Press, 2001

Moms need this! More than dads. Maybe more than sons.
Dads may know all this stuff already, but moms don't have a clue! And moms are the ones who actually explain male anatomy & physiology to their sons. We're the ones who spend the most time with young boys and have the most opportunities to teach. Since we don't have first hand experience, we need factual information. I have two sons, and learned only from this book, how boys develop and ...

Great fun!
"The West Wing Script Book" is a must for fans of this fabulous show! It's great to see the scripts and to see what the actors worked with. If you've seen the episodes, you'll be able to imagine all of the scenes and mannerisms. Just wonderful. I recommend.

Michael Arndt

Newmarket, 2007

Delightful
This is a delightful script. The shared goal of all the characters provides the reader with a warmth and investment in the characters individual journeys. It's so funny and touching. I also appreciated the scripts editing process that Arndt provides for us at the end of the screenplay. It is a valuable learning tool for those who are interested in writing screenplays.

You'll graduate a lightweight with this book!
I train people and like evaluating diet books now and then- and this one caught my eye. Written by daughter of Mehmet Oz, author of the popular "YOU" series of books, the author is also a college student that managed to actually lose weight while in college- no small feat these days. Throughout the book she relays helpful tips for losing weight and keeping in shape- advice specifically geared ...
