5.0 out of 5 stars Great beginers book, April 12, 2001

As a mother just begining to teach the "birds and the bees" this is a terrific help. The material is age appropriate and interesting to read. The best part, however, is the Christian aspect. I know that our children will understand and respect their sexuality more because they will know why God gave them this gift and the value of protecting that gift. Thank you Carol Greene for the books!

3.0 out of 5 stars Same content as boy's version, September 10, 2009

This review is from: Why Boys & Girls Are Different: For Girls Ages 4-6 and Parents (Learning About Sex) (Hardcover)

The content of this book is quite good. It is a good introduction to differences between girls and boys. One page was a little heavy ("One way we are all the same is that we are all sinners. We all need to be forgiven." Also, I bought the "For Boys" version of this book as well and the content is almost exactly the same, just different page order. Save your money and only buy one of them. I wish the cover was more gender neutral (clever marketing department...)-then I would just buy one for both my son and daughter.

This review is from: Why Boys and Girls Are Different (Learning about Sex) (Hardcover)

My 5 year old daughter enjoyed this book and it relieved me of an awkward subject - the fact that boys are anatomically different from girls. She is an only child and I really don't think she had the occasion to learn the outward differences on her own, so I felt it was time to address it, lest someone take advantage of her lack of knowledge in some nefarious way. This book is very simple and the perfect first book to read to your preschooler about sexual differences. The words were easy to understand, as were the illustrations. Her only reaction to the boy's anatomy was a giggle and "Look" as she pointed to the area, and that was it - she just accepted it without any confusion or concern. I am very glad we started with this one!
