Format:Hardcover
I purchased several books when it was time to talk to my son about sex. I needed a book to illustrate what I wanted to talk about. Many of the books I reviewed were mostly text with very few diagrams. The illustrations and cartoons in this book offer a mix of serious subject material along with the humor needed when talking about sex with your child! The subject matter is compartmentalized so that you can pick which topics that you think your child is ready for, and save the other topics for later. I felt very comfortable using this book to teach my son about love, sex, and the human body.

It was a great help when discussing sexuality and the changing body with my 10 year old daughter. We both enjoyed the funny pictures, and it eased the subject, my daughter still uses the book after one year and from time to time brings it to ask more questions.
Highly recommendable

My 11 year old has completely enjoyed this book. When I learned he was going to have sex ed in school in 5th grade, I wanted him to be properly informed ahead of time, and to not be embarrassed to ask questions etc.. We have had many wonderful discussions at home as a direct result of his reading this book and he feels free to ask me questions and discuss topics that I didn't previously know how to approach. I highly recommend this book.
Anyone know where the expression the birds and the bees originated?
