Participants were a convenience sample comprising 84 girls (aged 5\u20139 years) recruited from four private girls' schools. Girls were randomly allocated to be read either <jats:italic>Shapesville<\/jats:italic> or a control book. Individual measures of body image, stereotyping on the basis of weight and media internalisation, as well as knowledge of non\u2010appearance topics, were obtained at pre\u2010 and post\u2010intervention, as well as at 6\u2010week follow\u2010up. Relative to the control book, girls' appearance satisfaction increased after reading <jats:italic>Shapesville<\/jats:italic>. In addition, stereotyping on the basis of weight and internalisation of media ideals was reduced. Finally, reading <jats:italic>Shapesville<\/jats:italic> also increased girls' knowledge base of non\u2010appearance topics, such as recognising their special talents and awareness of healthy eating, at post\u2010intervention. These gains were somewhat reduced at follow\u2010up, yet were largely still significantly greater than at pre\u2010intervention. The present study demonstrates that <jats:italic>Shapesville<\/jats:italic> has the potential to be a successful prevention tool for use with young girls. Schools can incorporate <jats:italic>Shapesville<\/jats:italic> into their curriculum as early as school entry, in order to help prevent the early development of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating.
