Discusses the mental and physical changes that take place during puberty.
Great Book
| Customer Rating: | I read this book to my son about 5 years ago. I thought it was important that he understood both the male and female side of puberty. I wasn't sure how much he took in until a year later when his class had to discuss puberty in health class. The teacher told me that he was the only one who knew all the answers!
Since then, I have read this book to some of my foster children. For some of them, it really helped alliviate some of their anxiety about puberty and sex in general.
I loaned this book to a coworker who never returned it so I am buying it again!
In my opinion, this book is a must have!

Great book!
| Customer Rating: | | This was recommended by my nephew and nieces as the most informative book about puberty (when I asked them). It is really good. It is to the point, but keeps it lighthearted. It addresses a lot of good questions and worries kids have but won't ask. I HIGHLY recommend it. |
Well-presented, but thin on information
| Customer Rating: | I used this book w/ both my boys and it was fine, but I didn't love it.
The first half of the book is all "We're going to talk about puberty", "puberty is what we're going to talk about", "get ready to talk about puberty" - etc. I grew bored and so did my kids. It's like a novel with 7 prologues.
The second half of the book finally gets into some well-presented and age-appropriate information - about breasts, erections, periods, pimples, wet dreams, masturbation, etc. These topics are covered in what I think is just enough detail - with cute pictures to alleviate tension and about 2 pages on each topic. I give the second half of the book 5 stars.
One thing I didn't like is that the book assumes a level of knowledge. What I mean is, it goes right into talking about how semen want to get out of erect penises to go make babies, without covering how exactly babies are made. This book is for 9 - 12 year olds who should have some basic knowledge but I think a brief refresher (instead of all the filler in the beginning) would be good.
A word about ages: My oldest got a lot out of this book at 10. My second son was far too immature at 10 and giggled until I finally put the book away and waited a year. Obviously, a parent must use their judgment with regard to what ages they should present this book to.

Great Deal, Super Seller, Thank you!
| Customer Rating: | | What can I say, this book arrived promptly, in great condition, just what we ordered. Our 10 year old was already going through changes, and it helped out a big lot, THANK YOU |
Very Good Information
| Customer Rating: | | I remember when I was a little girl and my mom reading this book to me. I purchased it for my daughter so we could have "the talk", which she felt was torturous, but I still think that the book is great! Easy to read, relevant information without being overwhelming. |
