Customer Reviews

Straight forward and just the right amount of information!

I've always been straightforward with my daughter, who is now 11, about her body. She is well informed about puberty, periods and such. I was struggling with how to talk to her about sex since she is still rather innocent in her knowledge. Many books on sex include topics like STDs, masturbation, oral sex, etc., which just seemed too advanced for her at this stage. Then I found this book - Sex and Babies...First Facts - and it was exactly what I was looking for! Very factual and straight forward. The illustrations are very much in keeping with the tone of the book. Other books I researched had cartoon illustrations, which seemed inappropriate and ridiculous. The reality of sex was shocking enough for my daughter that anything over and above what was included in this book would have been way over the top for the stage she is in. As she matures, I will certainly tackle the other issues, but for now this book was perfect. If you are looking for a way to explain the facts of sex to your child in a basic way, get this book! You will not be disappointed!

Talking to children about sex

This is a safe and comfortable book that parents and teachers can use to talk about sex issues with their children.

This is a must for all parents who have to handle the topic of sex at some point or another with their curios children.
