I'am 13 1/2 years old and my mom gave this book to me when I was about 11 or so.Now I know what I'am going through.It answered most of my questions on what I would be growing into.This book will teach young teens about puberty.I recommend it!

I purchased this book for my neighbor who is a single father with a daughter. He gave it to her and she said it answered almost all her questions. The book is recomended for ages 9-12 I strongly recommend giving it to children at age nine to help prepare them for what is to come.

Very informational. I bought it for my children before puberty so that when puberty does come they will not be embarrassed or shocked at what's going on. As a mom of boys I wasn't sure how to talk about the embarrassing stuff, but this book definatly helps. It talks about everything from pimples, to sweating, to wet dreams, and erections. I love that it opens the door to talk about things I would normally be way too embarrassed to discuss with my boys! Not only does it give information about boys, but it also gives information about girls, so that either or can read it and if they would like to understand what the opposite sex is going through too they can read about them!

My step father who is a therapist gave me this book when I was about 10 years old and experiencing puberty. I was very confused and embarrassed by what was happening to my body and this book was exactly what I needed. I am 36 now and recommend this book to all of my friends who are parents. Its written in a way children can grasp the information without being too clinical. Its a little silly with cartoon characters but for me it was a wonderful tool. I think parent discussions should accompany reading the book but this book makes the conversations easier.

This book was sent to us by mistake. We have no problem talking to our children about sex and changes in their body, and we found the cartoons in this book to be more embarrassing that than the subject. One carton showed a woman naked and the caption stated that she could be a blond and a brunette at the same time. Come on, really! They were tasteless and crude. You would be better off getting a health book if you are having trouble talking to your children.

My mother bought this book for me when I was very young. It is one of the most memorable books I had ever read. I had it as a small child and I read it all the time. The book is really cute and the pictures are hilarious. It really demystified everything. They have a chart showing the growing male and female body, I used to look at it all the time, to see what the future had to hold.

I think that you shouldn't be on this page then if you think this is inappropriate!! Its the circle of life people. Im frikin 13 and i am more mature than you. Thats sad. And i actually behave better than you also you are kinda sexist because women should know about themselves whether its "unholy" or not. And two guys taking shower together?? Who cares! People, gay is not a choice. Its what god made. Its a choice of hapiness. And honestly what effect does it have on u??

I thought this book was factual and direct. That may make some parents nervous, but hey that's why you're buying a book isn't it? I read it before giving to my boys and it helped me frame up some of the difficult topics....that my parents never talked about to me....but wish they had. In the end, it really depends on your approach to parenting if you find this book helpful or not and that correlation with how open you are with your kids.

Hmmmm......... at least it's educational..... And when your older, it sure make you laugh.

Once again Peter Mayle has written another informative book about puberty. The illustrations are humorous and they minimize the embarrassment that might arise out of a parent-child discussion on the topic. I listed this title within the bibiliography of my book as recommended reading.

you should already know what is happening to ur body and embarasing stories are really kind of obviously embarassing.so there is no point in writing this book i hated it and i will never read it to my child again..also my poor little daughter cried wen i read her this book cuz she felt so embarassed for the kids this happened to so dont write any other books

I was appaled when I saw this book in the children's section. This book encourages kids to have premarital sex. Boys in the shower together, it is horrible. I can't beleive B&N would have this on a display shelf in the kids section!
