The book talks about how a person's body grows when they begin puberty. Some of the information is a little too detailed for a classroom book. However I would tell parents to look at this book if their child is asking questions and they do not know how to answer. One day when I have a family of my own, I will hopefully remember this book and buy it so my child doesn't have any misconceptions about what is happening when they reach puberty. ( )

This book is a fantastic approach to explaining puberty and sex, so much better than Hair in Funny Places. There's a note at the beginning to parents, followed by guidelines at the end for having this discussion with their kids. The illustrations are fun and very educational. I think allowing your kid to just read this on their own, then asking them what they thought of it afterward, would be an excellent way to educate them and let them know that the human body is not something to fear. The book also lets kids know that if they don't understand something, or if someone ever wants to touch their body in ways that make them uncomfortable, they should talk to an adult they trust. I can see this being the book I choose to use in the future. ( )

Very simplistic version of puberty, good for an introduction to the issues. Spent two separate pages discussing masturbation, which seemed very excessive. ( )

This book is excellent for older children--perhaps fourth or fifth grade--who are ready for the details, but will still respond best to cartoonish drawings and vague details. It goes into the specifics of everything. Useful, liberal, heteronormative.

This book was about men and women's bodies. It shows children what their "Private Parts" are and explains to them how their bodies change over time. Some of the pictures shown in this book were a little to much i think for children. They should of made a seperate book for boys and their body parts, and a book for girls and their body parts. ( )
