Lintball Leo's Not-So-Stupid Questions About Your Body

My 8 year old loved the humor in the book, and he appreciated all the important, hard to just "bring up" information that it gave him. I liked the good information that was given, but not "too much" for this age group! I'd definately recommend this book to anyone with a little boy!

A must have!

I bought this book for my 9 year old son and I would highly recommend this to any parent of a tween boy. Yes, it is very biblically based and that is what is so great about it. Our kids are so inindated with what the world thinks these days, that's it's great to read something that is not based on worldly thinking. And, these are some pretty important subjects. We had our son read the book first and then we asked him if he had any questions. At first, he did not, but as time as gone on, he has had some questions. The questions are trickling in, but at least he has some idea of what he is asking about.

Great For Young Boys

I have a son of my own, and he loved this book. We had a "deep" conversation about the book. Those parents out there with boys, I reccommend this book to them and you.

Help and Support for Parents of Pre-Adolescent Boys

This books is a great resource for parents of boys in those precarious "pre-teen" years. Although lighthearted, the book addresses nearly every question boys this age might come across when transitioning through puberty. The book's emphasis on Biblical principles and the concept of purity of mind and body is a consistent theme. Additionally, the book uses a dialogue of question and answer type conversations that may help prompt some wonderful and open discussions for parents and their sons.
