5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction for a difficult topic!, Nov 17 2009

By	H. Armstrong "Apple" (Saskatchewan, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: "What's Happening to Me? : An Illustrated Guide to Puberty" (Paperback)

I was given this book thirty years ago and loved it. Now, my son received it. He loved the illustrations and giggled his way through a difficult subject to initiate. It is a great ice breaker; as we went through it together we laughed at the pictures and discussed everything! I would recommend this book to everyone...especially for those that are ready for initial discussions on puberty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but Old, Oct 5 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: "What's Happening to Me? : An Illustrated Guide to Puberty" (Paperback)

I believe this is a good book. It is very helpful in teaching kids about puberty. But the problem is the book is outdated. The ages need to be lowered a little because nowadays, kids are going through puberty earlier. Girls have their period at age 9-10 on average and age 8-9 if they are early. Boys go through puberty on average at age 10-11 and age 9-10 if they are early. I know this because of things told to me from my friends from when they were younger and from myself. I personally went through puberty right after I turned 9 years old. If the book was updated a little, I would give the book five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Guide To Those Painful Times!, May 2 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: "What's Happening to Me? : An Illustrated Guide to Puberty" (Paperback)

This is a great book about puberty which is perfect for showing to your child. I will do it when I have some. It goes into good detail and doesn't talk any nonsense. It's very upfront. I mean, it's not like "Oh, your period feels good." It talks about how women might get depressed or groggy, which I think is important for them to know. it talks about erections, masturbation, periods, and even curcumcism (sp?). It also talks about wet dreams and the feelings you may get towards other girls. A great and useful guide.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book was horrible!
Although I agree that sex education needs to start at home. I think this book pushes to much information for children! I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
