Across these twelve titles, readers journey from the icy wastes explored in Perishing Poles to the scorching sands of Desperate Deserts, from the crashing waves of Odious Oceans and Cracking Coasts to the shaking ground of Earth-Shattering Earthquakes and the fiery chaos of Violent Volcanoes. Stormy Weather whips up hurricanes and tornadoes, Raging Rivers follows water on its journey from source to sea, Monster Lakes and Wild Islands uncover strange watery worlds, Freaky Peaks scales the world's tallest mountains, and Bloomin Rainforests swings through the steamiest jungles on Earth. Each book blends genuinely surprising science with irreverent humour, gross-out facts and Mike Phillips's hilarious illustrations, making this collection ideal for reluctant readers and geography enthusiasts alike. Whether dipped into for quick facts or read cover to cover, the set supports curriculum topics while never feeling like homework. It's a fantastic addition to any bookshelf, school library or long car journey, offering hours of independent reading and genuine \"did you know?\" moments that kids love to share.

Written in a clear, friendly tone, the book explains what puberty is and why it happens, covering physical changes such as growing taller, developing breasts, and noticing new body hair. A significant portion is devoted to periods, explaining what they are, how long they typically last, what period pain feels like, and how to use sanitary products with confidence. The book deliberately keeps its focus on body changes rather than introducing conversations about sex, making it a suitable first step for younger readers not yet ready for that wider discussion. Illustrated throughout to keep the tone light and approachable, it is structured so girls can dip in and out to find the information they need, whether that's reassurance about mood swings, spots, or simply feeling different from friends. Many parents and carers choose this book as a starting point for conversations at home, using it alongside their own guidance to normalise puberty as a natural, healthy part of growing up. It is a practical, no-nonsense resource that treats young readers with respect, answering real questions honestly without overwhelming them with detail. For schools, libraries and families alike, it fills the gap between silence and oversharing, giving girls the vocabulary and understanding to navigate this stage of life with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, age-appropriate explanations of puberty and body changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated, sensitive coverage of periods and sanitary products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps focus on body changes only, with no discussion of sex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriendly, non-judgemental tone that builds confidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal conversation-starter for parents, carers and teachers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy for young readers to keep and reread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnita Ganeri is an award-winning author of children's information books with over twenty years' experience, having previously worked in-house for Usborne Publishing and Walker Books.

Anita Ganeri breaks down the physical and emotional changes boys go through - from growing taller and developing body hair to voice changes and wet dreams - using calm, factual language rather than clinical jargon. Bright illustrations sit alongside simple diagrams, helping readers visualise what is happening to their bodies without feeling overwhelmed. The book doesn't stop at biology: it also covers hygiene routines, healthy eating, exercise, and the mood swings and self-esteem wobbles that often come hand-in-hand with growing up. Each topic is presented in short, digestible sections, making the book equally suited to independent reading or as a springboard for conversations between children and trusted adults. Because it treats an often-taboo subject with openness and respect, it helps normalise puberty rather than making it feel like a secret. Many parents and teachers choose this title specifically because it fills the gap between \"too babyish\" and \"too clinical\" - giving boys facts they can actually use, in language written just for them. It is a practical, non-judgemental companion for one of childhood's biggest transitions, and a useful addition to home bookshelves, school libraries, and PSHE resource collections alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, age-appropriate explanations of puberty and body changes for boys aged 7+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers hygiene, healthy eating and exercise alongside physical changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitively addresses wet dreams, mood swings and self-esteem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriendly illustrated format that avoids clinical or intimidating language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal conversation-starter for parents, carers and teachers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful resource for home, school library or PSHE lessons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnita Ganeri is a prolific and widely published UK children's author, known for making tricky subjects accessible through clear, friendly non-fiction writing.

Written by award-winning author Anita Ganeri and illustrated by Teresa Martinez, this paperback pairing gives boys and girls separate, focused guidance on the physical and emotional changes ahead. Clear, friendly language makes these books ideal for family bookshelves, school libraries, or discreet personal reading, helping children feel informed rather than anxious as they grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA Boy's Guide to Growing Up walks young readers through the physical changes boys experience during puberty, from growing taller and developing body hair to understanding wet dreams, alongside sensible advice on healthy eating, exercise, personal hygiene and managing mood swings. A Girl's Guide to Growing Up focuses on the changes girls will notice, including body hair, breast development and periods, answering practical questions such as how long periods last, what period pain feels like, and how to use sanitary products with confidence. This title deliberately keeps its focus on bodily changes rather than sex, making it suitable for younger readers who aren't yet ready for that conversation. Both books use a warm, question-and-answer style that dispels common myths and normalises the puberty experience, giving children the vocabulary and confidence to ask questions of trusted adults. Franklin Watts designed both titles as part of the wider My Body's Changing series, giving boys and girls clear, single-subject guidance rather than one all-encompassing book. The straightforward layout, short chapters and friendly illustrations by Teresa Martinez make both books approachable for children who might otherwise feel embarrassed discussing these topics, and useful as a calm starting point for parents and teachers introducing the subject at home or in PSHE lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeparate, focused guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e for boys and girls rather than a single mixed-topic book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear, age-appropriate language\u003c\/strong\u003e that reduces anxiety around puberty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePractical health tips\u003c\/strong\u003e covering hygiene, exercise and healthy eating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmotional support\u003c\/strong\u003e with advice on mood swings and self-esteem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrusted, respected author\u003c\/strong\u003e Anita Ganeri, known for accessible children's nonfiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable paperback format\u003c\/strong\u003e, easy for children to handle at home or school\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnita Ganeri is an award-winning author of children's information books who has written for over twenty years, after working in-house for Usborne Publishing and Walker Books.
