This is an excellent book about private parts! I would highly recommend this title to parents who want a resource to help them explain private parts to their children. The book talks about privates gently and unabashedly. The penis and vagina are depicted through cartoonish illustrations that are bold and clear, and I find that this style helps both parent and child feel comfortable talking about private parts together. The book also features Caucasian and African American children which is a ni...more
I like this book's straightforward, factual introduction to anatomy and sexuality, Parts of it (such as the sperm/egg bit) are probably a little beyond my two-year-old son's comprehension, and the illustrations show circumcised penises and hospital births, but overall I am pleased with the book.
A good introductory book about the "birds and the bees" for young children. Some of the proper names might be hard for children to understand, but it still is a nice place to start talking about sexuality with children.
I got this book to discuss reproduction with my 5 1/2 year old. It is written for younger children and discusses different body parts and reproduction without getting into the specific mechanics of sex.
This book ended up being a good springboard for conversation with my seven year old rather than my three year old, although the text is written with the three year old in mind.
The older daughter and I read the book out loud to the younger daughter who wandered off in the middle of our recitation. Once we completed our read-aloud, we talked about growing up, what happens to our bodies, what it's like to grow a baby and giving birth. I'm pleased with the conversation and know that the thre...more

Thank goodness for this book! Kiddo was asking lots of questions about body parts and, luckily, this answered enough questions (for now) to satisfy her! Correct body part names are used. The illustrations are accurate but kid-friendly and not too graphic. Exactly what I was hoping for when I checked it out at the library!
On a personal note, Kiddo wants us to read this as a bedtime story (she loves this book!) and it is the oddest thing in the world to read a bedtime story with the ...more

My kids loved this book! Especially my 5 yr old. It did bring up some questions from my 9 yr old though, so be prepared!

Great book for little ones with questions that you're not sure how to answer.
This is a nice introduction to private body parts for preschoolers. Shows what a boy has and what a girl has. Also neat are pages which show cartoons of naked baby, naked boy, and naked man (as well as naked girl baby, naked girl, naked woman).
Teaches about sperm meeting the egg to make a baby.

ran across this one while babysitting. Kids gave it to me to read as bedtime story and many giggles with great laughing followed. I was initially 'shocked' because I was caught off guard, but its a great book and a way to introduce your kids to their and your private parts!
This is a great book if your child is not only curious about the body but ALSO about where babies come from. My child isn't questioning that yet, so this was more info than necessary.
I don't think this is the best book out there for teaching preschool aged children about their bodies, but it was okay
got this for my 3 year old daughter. Some of it is a little to old for her but some of it is just right.
Just what I was looking for when 2 year old Harry asked me to show him what I did have (since not a penis).
