Glad It's Still Available! by R. F. Benson (Toms River, NJ USA)

There is no reason to "fear" this book. Sitting down with one's child and being available for discussion can certainly impart any family or Church values without depriving him/her of the rest of the information -- and a golden opportunity to share/communicate. I remember discovering this gem in a bookstore when my daughter was entering puberty -- in the very late 1970s ! -- and being so impressed with its ability to convey information in such a non-threatening way. We both felt so comfortable with the presentation -- cartoons and text, in hardcover then. Now her son is ten-and-a-half and it's time to give him his own copy -- in a package from Grandmom (with Mom's permission)and Amazon that also includes "Where Did I Come From?" and the book by the AMA..."Boys Guide to Becoming a Teen." Bonus: Together they were eligible for free PRIME two-day shipping! I phoned my grandson the day his books arrived and he VERY profusely thanked me for them. (He had already been questioning all that was going on in his world. I think I've reduced his exasperation just a little.) He'll be sharing them with his friends -- with parental permission all around, of course -- and there will be real information in his pre-teen world to replace the "boys room" misinformation. (I'm a writer and illustrator -- and I sure wish this book had been MY stroke-of-genius!)

Wonderful introduction to the subject of puberty and changes. Easy reading lending itself to comfortable discussions.

My mother got me this book as well as "Where did I come from"? I looked these up because I now have a daughter. I have such fond memories of these two books. I read them over and over and I probably started reading them from the time I could read. For me they were not too graphic. They explained things that I wanted to know and that my parents could not explain. I love the illustrations. I have such love for this book. I write my review as a person remembering how I felt as the child reader and not as the parent judging.

If you are Catholic or Christian, this probably isn't the book for you. I bought it because it is frank and honest; but when I recieved it I was disappointed to see that masturbation is graphically explained (how to) and the book states that it is harmless, normal part of development. If this is not your belief, skip this book.

LOVE THIS BOOK by Ilia Castro (Bronx , NY)

I am 30 years old now and I still remembered the name of this book. It had such an impact on me when I was a teen going into puberty! I am so going to buy this for my daughter when she gets older. GREAT BOOK and awesome pictures!
