3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, But There Are Better Feb 10 2008
By K. J. Simon - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
While the information in the book is good, the dated looking, grayscale illustrations left me cold and the layout of text and graphics is boring as well. This may seem picky, but the reality is we live in a very visual world. If a text can't hold a child's attention they won't read it.

Those criticisms aside, this has the potential to be a good book in addition to the book "What's Happening to Me?" as it does cover a few topics not covered in "What's Happening to Me?"What's Happening to Me?: Boys Edition (What's Happening to Me?). If you're only going to spring for one book, however, I wouldn't make it this one. If the publisher fixed some of the graphics and layout issues to better appeal to the target audience, I would have moved my rating up to 4 stars. The information it contains is sound and needs to be covered with our boys.

One of the reviewers mentioned removing the page on masturbation. By doing that one also removes the section called "How Things Change!" that discussed the physical changes a boy's genital area experiences during puberty, what an erection is and about wet dreams, and, that those are all normal. I would not recommend removing page 37/38, two of the more important pages in the book when discussing the physical changes during puberty.

I hope this book is reprinted in a more accessible format. It has the potential to be an important book in your child's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for a 9 year old boy Dec 1 2007
By T. Barnes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book was great! Of course, I read it all the way through before I gave it to my 9 year old son. It covers everything related to hygiene, good nutrition, braces, glasses, cleanliness, etc... The only thing I did not like about the book was that it covered masturbation. My son was not prepared for that so I cut the page out of the book easily. I do not think that most 8 year olds are ready for that. Otherwise I loved it.

This perfectly-sized guide for boys who need an excellent introduction to their growing bodies. The Boy's Body Guide is an ideal book for a pediatrician's office or a school psychologist's or counsellor's office. Anyone who deals with pre-teen and teenage boys will appreciate this honest information conveyed in a conversational tone, with numerous useful illustrations throughout.
