Customer Reviews

very pleased

I bought this book to give to my husband to read with our 13 year old son. It's the perfect book for opening a discussion and answering questions. I chose this book because it didn't have too much information like the other books I found. This was all he was ready for. We could have bought it 6 months earlier and he would have been ready for it. But it took me a while to find the right book that didn't have way too much information. Although, I do have the older version of the book. I don't know how this newer book differes from the one I have.

I read this book myself at age 11

My mother gave this book to me when I was 11 years old. Unfortunately, I think a more appropriate age would've been 9 or 10, before my perceptions of sex were influenced by peers. My own daughter is 8 years old, and I intend to share this book with her now. While some reviewers complain about the lack of content, as an 11 year old child I felt it provided ample information. My mother always kept an "open door policy" when it came to discussing sex, so additional questions I had were answered by her. That is how it should be. The book should be used as a tool to introduce sex, not a concise encyclopedia of sex and morality. I'm buying several copies, by the way, to share with my friends who also have children expressing curiosity about sex. And I hope the book is as helpful to my daughter as it was to me all those years ago.

This book taught me

I read this book just before turing twelve over a decade ago. If you are a religious person and want to raise your children with good Christian valuse, this book is excelent. I am grateful that my parents used it to teach me about sex.

Great Tool for Parents

I found this book to be a great parental tool. It is age appropriate sex education from a Christian perspective. It was an excellent resource.

A 'must be read' to all 'almost 12' children.

The book is tastefully done so that an adult, preferably a parent, can read it to a child in order to impart the biblical truths about the purpose of sex, before the 'world' infiltrates their minds with lies, trash and confusion. A responsible parent will always cherish the time spent reading this book for 15 minutes to their child, and the child will remember the lesson for a life-time. Believe me, I know. I've read it to the younger of our six children and to some of their friends as well. I can see first hand that the respect and teachings have influenced their lives 15 years later!
