Good for talking

I had this as a small child and found it really useful. Some things in it may seem a little dated, but the basic coverage of the book is excellent. It deals with important but difficult to discuss issues. It's written in a format where children can either read with their parents or read alone, and so find out important facts at their own pace.

This book shouldnt be for kids.

Provides many answers for difficult questions children have, but it is a little odd and could be considered offensive. Here's the introduction: "Where do I come from? What does dying mean? Why are some people black?"
