 boys book August 7, 2010

Perfect book for that preteen February 6, 2010
M. Teague
I was looking for a book that was not so detailed that it read like a text book, but had enough substance to answer the questions a preteen may have. As a mom I read through it myself first for appropriateness and then gave it to my 9 year old. Initially he skimmed through it and read only the parts he wanted. However, I find that he does go back to it periodically as a reference when needed. Sometimes the book provided him the answers he was looking for and other times it was just the starting grounds for a talk. Either way it is serving its purpose.
 Good as a reference except certain pages. But guide you son! January 9, 2010

We were looking for a book for our son similar to The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library) that we bought for our daughter, and this book seems to be one of the best. We bought 2, one for our son and one for a realtive, but when we received it, we found that there are materials on some pages that are objectionable or against our regligion. We returned one copy and kept one.
Overall the book is a good reference except the masturbate part. It implies that it is not normal to not masturbate, and the only negative to masturbating a lot is not having time for other things. Medical materials note that masturbating a lot can negatively affect the bowel movement and other organs in the body, too.
The book also talk about oral and anal sex, which might not be appropriate to your early teens. We plan to guide our son through these objectionable pages.

Very good resource October 18, 2009

Well presented material in a manner that will hold interest of the intended age group. Not just about birds/bees, but peer pressure and other emotions encountered as a boy enters puberty.
