Product Description
With humour and sensitivity, Boys, Girls & Body Science provides no-nonsense answers for children - and parents - with questions about sex. Specifically designed for young readers, Boys, Girls & Body Science walks children through the wonders of their bodies in a direct, easy-to-read manner. The story begins with Nicholas, 7, and Jenny, 5, learning about different types of science in their class - from ecology to the digestive system. Then Meg Hickling, a guest speaker, comes to talk to them about a new type of science. Hickling talks about the "science names" for the children's body parts, about good and bad touches and about making babies. She coaches the children not to be embarrassed or shy about body science: "We are going to make this just like a science lesson, we will learn to think like a scientist and we will learn the scientific names for our private parts," she says. |

Definately explains birds and bees by L. Ury  2 Stars
July 02, 2009
It is written in a very child like way...in the style for a 6-7 year old...but if you want a cartoon picture of a naked man and women embracing under the covers...this is the book for you! Not quite what I was looking for.

Excellent book that brought lots of giggles and understanding! by J. King (Sacramento, CA) 5 Stars
June 13, 2009
I just read this book with my kids (girl age 9, boy age 7). Both kids were very interested in the anatomy explanations, and the baby making process. We are very open about things in our home, and I found this book to be a great "safe" way to start the conversation about sex, and all those things related to it.
I would definitely recommend this book for kids ages 7-10!

Perfect Book! by B. WIlson 5 Stars
November 21, 2008
I bought this book for my 10 yr old son. I made sure I read it first then gave it to him to read. We followed with a great discussion. I had researched a lot of other books and now that I have had the book/conversation with my son I am glad I chose this book! I was not ready to discuss masterbating, wet dreams or homosexuality with my child yet and this book DID NOT mention these things. It was simple and straightforward. A perfect Primary Grade Book!

This works well for the guys! by Cherelle (NJ United States) 5 Stars
June 10, 2008
This book seems to get the information across and my sons and nephew were receptive. I would recommend this book for parents wondering how to approach the subject with their sons.
