Anyone have any good recommendations on books to explain the birds and bees to her? She is 10.

Thanks!

The American Girl Book, The Care and Keeping of You, is great for 10 year old girls but is more hygiene and bodily changes than s*x.

It's Not the Stork has been recommended here, but may be a bit young. I would also read the reviews to see that it is in line with what you want to communicate. http://www.amazon.com/Its-Not-Stork-Families-Friends/dp/0763633313/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1345689224&sr=1-1&keywords=its+not+the+stork

It's So Amazing gets good reviews with the same caveat: http://www.amazon.com/Its-Not-Stork-Families-Friends/dp/0763633313/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1345689224&sr=1-1&keywords=its+not+the+stork

*What* kind of questions is she asking? Specifically how babies are made, or the differences between bodies, or what's happening to her body? From the recent threads along this line, there seems to be books that are good for each kind of subject.

I remember a lot of moms on here like "It's Not the Stork" (seems like there's a series of books depending on the level of information). For growing up, there's an American Girl book called "The Care and Keeping of You" that I liked when my niece wanted a book to read.
