The Big Book for Girls by Bart King and his 5 sisters

I loved this book from the start! But it does have some parts I did not like at all! Do you want to know what that is? The dating, and kissing parts. But other wise I love the book. It's me! It also has some cool facts and some not so cool facts.

I think this book would mostly be recomended for 8 year olds and up.
My favorite parts are the parts where you can choose a nickname if you don't have one, the pet part, and the part where it tells what level the laters in your name are.

This book is a real girly girl book! I like those kinds of books. If you want to find some interesting facts, and your a girly girl you will want to read this book! I loved it!
