Summary:
This nonfiction book is written for ages 10 and up. It allows young readers to be able to understand the changes with their bodies and how they develop. The book has 6 parts. Each part is broken down into more specific topics: “What is Sex?”, “Our Bodies”, “Puberty”, “Families and Babies”, “Decisions”, and “Staying Healthy”. The Bird and the Bee read the story and add commentary throughout the book. Some of the topics are sensitive in nature for young readers as they involve bodily changes and reproduction.
Commentary:
This would be a reliable resource for parents to use as a starting point for difficult conversations with their child about their bodily changes. The reader should be aware that there are graphic photographs that are used to explain male and female anatomy. The characters, the Bird and the Bee, makes some of the topics a bit comical. The illustrations in the book help the readers have a better understanding to what they are reading. The author does a wonderful job with introducing new vocabulary. Not only is it introduced, the definition is also shown for the reader to understand.
