| Customer Reviews: A thoroughly engaging presentation of age appropriate sexuality information. February 26, 2010 Mathew Vea (Massachusetts) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is now 15 years old, and it is still the best available book of sexuality information for the preteen age group. The information on body parts, puberty, reproduction, birth, diseases, and the emotional swings that accompany adolescence is presented simply and matter-of-factly. There are no photo's. Instead, there are explicit drawings of both internal and external body parts. For entertainment, two cartoon characters, a bird and a bee, give a running commentary on the material on almost every page.
This book is a perfect aid for teaching responsible sexuality to preteens.
