I'm a foster carer and bought this book on recommendation to help my current foster child learn more about her body and how families are different. It's a very good book for dipping in and out of, with clear information presented in a very child-friendly way. The illustrations are fun and encourage discussion. I'd recommend this book to anyone who works with children. Definitely well worth having on the shelf!

I bought this for my two year old son who is already asking some very awkward questions! Although I wouldn't say the entire book is suitable for him at this stage (we only tend to look at a few of the pages at the moment) I can see it being used more and more as he grows. Great illustrations, no-nonsense information and a sense of humour. Very easy to follow, I probably learned a lot as well!
Edit 14/05/2010 - my son is now six years old and we still come back to this book. My daughter is three and she loves looking at the pictures of the pregnant lady and dog, which helped to clarify why my friend had a baby in her tummy (my daughter honestly thought she had eaten the baby...). A brilliant resource, straight forward and practical.

Half way through reading this to my 8 1/2 year old. It is ideal to get the message across without being too scientific - would recommend

I bought this book for my 9 year old cross-culturally adopted son. This book is beautifully illustrated and explains things in a way I never could. It also mentions about all kinds of families and does touch on adoption, I didn't know this when I bought it and was so pleased to see it there. Very child friendly. Highly recommended.

I bought this in conjunction with Claire Rayner's, The Body Book - partly because that's the book I remember from my childhood and also because it deals with a wider range of body issues in excellent, child-friendly detail. However, it's the Let's Talk book that grabbed my 6 year old's attention. He loves the Bird and Bee characters and has been fascinated to learn about where babies come from. He had been asking questions about his body and this was just a really useful tool to help me explain things.
As an adoptive parent, I also love the fact that the book acknowledges so beautifully that there are all different types of family and talks about emotional issues around friendship and growing up.
A fun book for him and a useful one for us. I'm sure we'll keep coming back to it as he gets older too. Would definitely recommend.
UPDATE: A little while on and this is still his first book of choice, especially when reading alone.

Great for sharing with children up to about 10
I have only flicked through this book so far, but it is factual and interestingly presented and I think it will be useful when my children begin to ask questions.
