I thought this would define what is right and not wrong in a better manner. Very brief and uninformative.

I think that it is important to have a venue to open dialogue with your kids without making this a bigger issue than it needs to be for most kids. I got this book years ago when my kids were little and I have to admit I wasn't impressed with the physical qualities of the book (illustrations, no binding). However, for it's purpose, I really liked how it was not a scary book at all. It is more about how we care for each other and gives families a good way to talk about appropriate touching.

This books is great for young children who may or may not have experienced physical or sexual abuse. This book provides a sense of security to facilitate more discussion with a caring adult. Kids feel safe with this book and the book gets kids thinking of their own good ideas for coping with situations. The pictures may be a little bland, but many kids enjoy brightening pages up on their own!
