Even if this is a good book I would never buy a book published by Planned Parenthood…an organization that supports abortion.
Rating: 1 / 5
It is a good and useful product for teaching children. The kids can actually read parts of it themselves if they are uncomfortable reading it with you.
Rating: 4 / 5
I found this book second-hand and was glad to find the information written in a way that kids could understand. Part of the awkwardness for me as a parent is not the facts, but the delivery. How would I know when certain details are too much? If a kid asks more about the actual act of intercourse, this book has already laid the groundwork so that a frank discussion of the realities of that can be had. Reality is different from TV and Movies. I like that there is just enough information in here. I also REALLY LIKE that it points out the emotional and mental problems that can come from having sex before you’re ready. I don’t think enough people address that. I think overall it’s a great launching pad for the actual talk, NOT a substitute.
Rating: 4 / 5
The perfect book for talking to my girl about sex, it helps me to have a guide, and very friendly for the kids.

I purchased this book for my 10 year old son as a basis for discussion for ‘the talk’. I found the information provided therein deficient in several categories. There are actually only a couple pages that are devoted to any kind of description or explanation of the sex act itself, and those are non-illustrated and very shallow. The book is much more geared to describing male and female changes during puberty and of course, as a publication of Planned Parenthood, spends considerable time on contraception, STDs, and other topics which are not perhaps reflected in the book’s misleading title. I would have returned the book but the return shipping fee would not have justified that process as it would have been more than one-half the cost of the book itself. I would recommend against this book for any purpose.
