I think that as a parent, "body science" is a great book to have around for those questions that you may not have the words for. also, my kids wanted to look at iot. the pictures were intriguing and the text simple.

I bought this book based on reviews and boy am I glad I did! When I explained to my daughter that I have a book on BODY SCIENCE, the reception I got was much different if I had said otherwise.

The book starts off in a classroom where the nurse comes in to discussing biological changes in puberty to both sexes, and the kids responding like kids would (even saying "YUCK!" which is what my child said as well when I was reading it to her).

I highly recommend this book for 6-9 year olds who have questions about "whats this?". It is a discussion starter on its basic level.

For girls only: I'd also recommend "The Care and Keeping of You" which discusses how & why to wash, what changes will be happening soon during puberty, how to size & select a bra, etc. A little more fluffy than Body Science, but I believe they complement each other.

The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls

My kids (6-year-old girl & 7-year-old boy) have recently been asking questions about sex and their bodies. They have also been making a bunch of body-part comments. So I thought it was time to answer their questions but I wasn't sure what I should tell them. I chose this book because it was rated for their age group on the Amazon.com website.

I am very happy with the book. It does a really good job of presenting the material in an honest and clininical manner yet still manages to stay interesting to kids.

I believe it made my "talk" with the kids so much easier. I actually have seen the kids leaf through the book on their own at times too so I know it caught their attention/interest.

I highly recommend this book!
