Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7?Two books that offer basic explanations of puberty while broadly addressing vital contemporary concerns such as molestation, sexual harassment, and AIDS. Generously illustrated with cheerful, multicultural black-and-white cartoons, each title defines many of the terms and topics middle schoolers wonder about, such as the mechanics of intercourse and menstruation. The texts examine the general physical and emotional changes of adolescence, but stop short of detailed discussions of birth control, STDs, and sexual relationships. There are chapters in each volume on the importance of good decision-making that offer a couple of exercises ideal for classroom discussion and suggest questions for evaluating healthy romantic relationships. Each title includes three sets of transparent color overlays to illustrate growth, reproductive organs, and conception, which are attractive but of limited informational value. The glossaries include some slang and also define a few terms beyond those used in the text. Robie Harris's It's Perfectly Normal (Candlewick, 1994) is a better, more appealing choice, but it's also more explicit.?Virginia E. Jeschelnig, Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library, Willowick, OH

This review is from: Changes in You and Me: A Book about Puberty Mostly for Boys (Spiral-bound)
Similar to the Madaras books, with a copy each for girls and boys, but doesn't quite live up to the legacy. Includes transparent plastic overlays at several points to illustrate changes, but the overlays seem more like a gimmic than a useful tool. Generally good layout, with an attractive mix of pictures, text and interactive sections. Includes a small amount of information on STD's, AIDS and good/bad touching.

This review is from: Changes in You and Me: A Book about Puberty Mostly for Boys (Spiral-bound)
I just felt like this book was too boring to engage my son. It needs to be more direct and frankly more entertaining to engage him.
