Satisfied my very curious 5 year olds' mindby Max_in_NY

January 23, 2009:
A very open, honest, and as importantly, easy-to-read-to-your-child book about the very things they want to know. As another reviewer pointed out - it is better to let them know this stuff straight and at the time when they are curious about it and before they are shy, self-conscious and embarrassed. My 5 year old has been very interested in the subject, in one manner or another, and it seems to have completely satisfied his mind.
It is a great opening step into this part of life.
After all these years... Still EXCELLENT!by Anonymous

June 24, 2008: I bought this book back in the 80s and used it to tell my two young children the facts of life before it became an issue of embarrassment. They were asking questions... and to tell the older 8 year old, I needed to tell the 5 year old too to prevent misinformation. Since they were of different genders, I read it to them separately. It went over great, no problems, clearly and thoughtfully given. And most of all... they UNDERSTOOD it! They even asked me questions. My daughter said, 'You had to do it twice?' So, my response... 'I had to do it a little more than twice to make sure the two of you would get here.' They never had an issue and it left our line of communication totally open for the future. Today, they are ages 25 and 28. Wow, did this book make my 'talk' easy, acceptable, and totally unfrightening!
