makes learning about puberty fun & easy for kids. I read it to my 9 & 10 year olds and it was straight forward and honest with interpretations of other kids written in the book. Makes it not only easy to discuss but fun too !

This book is great! I bought it to use in therapy with teens, and it covers many important topics.

This book is comprehensive and includes even the "sticky" information you may not want to talk about, but should. I used this with my son the summer before he entered middle school. I wanted him to have the knowledge from me, before he learned incorrect info from someone else.

Great book for young kids with a minimum of knowledge, or for those whose parents just can't deal with the facts of life. My grandkids devoured it!

This book is my second-favorite book to talk to boys about sex. (The best, in my opinion, is "What's going on down there?") This book is written in the style of a teen magazine, with lots of short articles and drawings. I found it annoying because it demanded a short attention span. My son, who HAS a short attention span, loved it! It discusses everything about the physical and emotional changes a teen goes through. It discusses anatomy in perhaps more detail than necessary to communicate the topic. (I liked "What's going on down there?" because it gives ENOUGH detail without reading like a pre-med textbook!) The one thing I really didn't like about this book was that it discusses both boys and girls in exhaustive detail. My 12-year old son was embarrassed to find himself faced with VERY detailed discussions of menstruation. While he needs to know about that, he doesn't need the same level of detail that a girl does, especially at this age. I think that the topic of puberty and adolescent changes is best discussed in a single-sex environment, so I give this book 4 out of 5.

I purchased this for my 2 sons ages 12 and 13. They really enjoyed this book and felt comfortable asking questions afterwards. This book really does give a lot of information. It is a big help when you dont know how to explain these type of things to your teens and pre-teens. Good book for all to go review together!

This is a great book for preteen teen age kids. Mine embarrased to discuss this subject but they did read through the book. There a lots of comic book type pages which my 13 year old boy enjoyed and there was more technical information for my older girls.

This is a great book to get any teenager. Especially if the parents are not sure how to explain every detail of the importance of taking responsibility of theyre actions. Being a single mother after reading this book before giving it to my teenager boy I am pleased with my purchase.I really recommended...

This book is perfect for my 11 year old son. It has a lot of information without being long & boring. It's a quick read and covers all the material in a concise manner. He doesn't like reading but it actually held his attention!

I have a daughter that is 13 years old and knows everything. Apon learning of my daughters first kiss, I decided it was time to have "THE TALK". Not knowing how to begin, I decided to cunsult the good old internet. After a few vaige articles and a few chat rooms, I decided to turn to good old books. I mulled over quite a few reading samples and still wasn't sure. I finally turned to the customer reviews. I ended up ordering three books in all. The best one by far, that covered all the topics I felt were most important was Sex, Puberty, and all that stuff. I found this book covered all the improtant subjects thourouly. I read this book by myself to ensure it covered everything, all rapped up in a nice paper package. Then I sat down and read it with my daughter It was a little uncumfortable at times, but lets face it this is not an easy subject. I feel so much better now knowing I covered all the bases. When we were done with the read (split up over four nights). I gave the book to her in case there was anything she had questions about and was to afraid to ask. I ordered three more to give to friends and family with young teenagers. This would be an excellent book for boys as well. Lets face it it's as much the boys responsibility, to keep themselves safe from unwanted pregnancy as well as STD's.
