Reviews

[Radiolab]

Radiolab asked listeners for their sex ed recommendations.

Tobi, a Radiolab listener, says, "This book was special because it was straightforward, accurate, and included everything from developing bodies, sex, and contraception, to friendships, peer pressure, drugs, and suicidal thoughts. It had information for almost every situation I faced in adolescence, and helped me feel more confident and less alone as a teen."

Excellent book for kids ! Tells kids the stuff they need to know about growing up, including physical and emotional aspects. Very well written, not too graphic and not too simple. I think it would b great for any older child.
