Gives the basics but also does a very good job of letting kids know they own their bodies. A VERY imporatant and often overlooked part of the discussion.

Children ask a lot of questions. This book is great for adults having to answer these questions. Also, older readers could handle reading this too. It gave solid information for adolescents.

This book should be read by teenagers only. Parents who are afraid to talk to their children about different things should be recommended to read this book. This book teaches teenagers about their different body parts, and how boys and girls differ. This book also talks about reproduction and how

I would not use this in a classroom, but I would refer to this book for ways to answer those uncomfortable questions. Brown helps answer one of the most uncomfortable, yet necessary, questions. I would recommend this book to any parent who is dreading their child asking this question.

This book gives a basic overview for children about sexual aspects and reproduction. It could help inform children.

I personally think that this book is more suitable for teenagers who are going to the change of puberty. So many things happen around that age that leave questions unanswered. I think that this book is a VERY honest approach with dealing with these things. I appreciate this book for its detail in

The topic of this book is quite difficult to talk to children about. I do feel this book covers enough information to just start out with the basics for children. I do believe we should start exposing our children to sex at a young age, by doing so we are showing our children that sex is a natural

thing and we should not shame the topic. I do think the information is a lot for one sitting, especially for a young child. The book does its purpose for introducing the subject to young children.
