 It's Not for 4 year olds. November 20, 2007

4 out of 9 found this review helpful
While I recommend this book for pre-puberty kids with their parents guidance, I do not think it is appropriate for 4 years olds as the book portrays. I read it and then reviewed it with my 7 year old daughter because she had been asking alot of questions as I am pregnant with our third child. She still said "yuk" or giggled at some of the drawings, which is fine. But there is no way I would read it to my 4 year old son at this time.
So pleased that I picked this one! November 7, 2007

When my kids started asking reproduction and anatomy questions, I checked out and read the reviews of every book on the subject I could find. I'm an RN, so it was important to me that it was accurate as well as engaging for my kids. I am so glad I picked this one. My children were 4 and 6 when we bought this book, and they absolutely loved it from the first reading. So did I. It has all the information I was hoping for and it is presented so appropriately for the age. Nothing is scary or more detailed than necessary. The illustrations are bright and fun and keep the kids engaged. The book is set up in such a way that is easy to navigate - that is, you can read it from beginning to end, and it flows appropriately - starting with body parts and boy/girl differences, reproduction in the middle, and a small section at the end about good and bad touches. You can also easily jump to the section that you or your child prefers without taking away from the book. For example, my daughter is fascinated by the cartoon showing the sperm swimming to the egg and we often just start there.
As a parent of young children and as an RN, I recommend this book to all parents

this series of sex ed books for children are a great resource for parents who believe in open discussions about sexuality but don't know where to start with their children. each book is designed for a particular age group and addresses various aspects of sexuality appropriate for that age group. recommend highly.
a great book for explaining, you know, everything to your kid July 15, 2007

Lots of easy to understand graphics and fun text make this book a great starting place to talk with your young kid about the birds and the bees. There's way more in here than what I need for my 4 year old right now, but it covered the basic information enough to satisfy her curiousity and my concern over how to describe a little, to be accurate, and not say too much.
Great book! July 9, 2007

Bought this to help me answer those questions my 7 year old was asking. The age for this is listed as 4. I don't think I would use it for a child that young but it was perfect for what I needed. The illustrations are great, very child friendly. The descriptions were not overly graphic. I would recommend it to any one to help open the discussion with their child.
