It is comical for the well versed reader and rather informative for the novice. My guess is todays youth will cringe at the first half of this book but should be able to take some valuable knowledge away in the end. If at the very least, they too will have some images burned into their memories that will prompt a Saturday night "find it" frenzy years later while hanging with their adult friends.
A friend recommended this to me as I was struggling with a very curious 3rd grade daughter and an extremely modest 5th grade daughter. The two of them knew some general information already, it takes a man and a woman and they need to be naked, but I didn't know how to explain more of the details of intercourse in a way they would understand but wouldn't shock them either. I felt like my girls were ready (and needed) to know.
My husband and I read it together with our daughters and it created an important level of confidence and comfort and trust in our relationship and for this topic. It opened the door to NOT EMBARRASSING conversations and further questions my girls had. I think this is an excellent resource to begin the conversation of sex and understanding that intercourse is for a loving relationship and for creating life.
This book explains intercourse in a kid-friendly, yet still accurate way...from an erect penis entering the vagina to ejaculation...then onto fertilization and progression of a fetus to birth. **I especially liked the explanation that when two people love each other they want to be as close to one another as possible, and the man's penis in the woman's vagina is as close as you can be.**
