A PG-rated "supplementary" essay to the classic fairly tale, this missive advises pre-teen and early-teen girls about why some of the boys in her neighborhood or school are suddenly expressing interest in her, even though previously they may have either mostly ignored her or treated her like she was ugly, fat, geeky/awkward, bothersome, etc.
If the "Beauty and the Breast" pamphlet had been around in Laura Ingalls' time, the prematurely-buxom Sylvia might have not been so upset and scared when neighborhood boys started pestering and harassing her.
