1: too much information...
I liked this book when I began reading it, even though it had a little more info than I expected. But then I got to the end and it goes on to explain good touches and bad touches. I was disappointed to find out that the author expects us to teach our 4 year olds that touching themselves is a "good touch." That is not something I want to teach my young kids, if they figure it out on their own, so be it, but I don't want to introduce that concept to my 4 year old. Also, it goes on to say that some kids have 2 moms and some kids have 2 dads. How are we supposed to explain that one to our young kids after just explaining to them that it takes a mom and a dad to make a baby?
I did give the book 3 stars because I was impressed at first about the way the subject was introduced. There were just a few subjects that I thought were inappropriate. I will be returning this and the search is still on for a good one.

2: Fantastic Resource
This book is perfect for our seven-year-old daughter. I highly recommend it as a resource for any family. It is detailed, but not too graphic. Entertaining, but straight-forward.
I have lent it to many coworkers and friends!

3: surprised me
with detail. But it has fascinated my kids from 5-9, yes I've bought the older books as well - the oldest one I think is still a bit much for my 9yo, but she likes the middle one . . . but they all enjoy this one - it seems to hit just the right notes for interesting information without too much yuck factor for them - and the cute illustrations confirm their ideas that some of this is just a little bit weird when you hear it!!

4: Great introduction
My not-quite-four (but very verbal) daughter got this book for Christmas, and it immediately became one of her favorites. I am pregnant again now, so she is very interested in all the discussion of pregnancy and birth, and it opened up discussions about what her birth was like and what it will be like when I have this baby. The first few times we read it she just listened wide-eyed and didn't talk much, but now we chat while we read it, and she will periodically come up to me and inform me that the food I am eating will go to the baby through the umbilical cord. I recommend this one highly for any preschooler who is curious and likes to understand how things work.

5: great for kids!
I got this book for my two boys, ages 10 and 5. They were so interested in it. My 10 year old's best friend was there the night when I started reading it to my 5 year old. At first they were giggling at some at the pictures. But pretty soon I had all three of them on the couch with me just soaking up information. They even asked some questions, and said they learned some things they didn't realize. It's very simple, and to the point, without going into great detail. The pictures are cartoons, but very realistic. It's a great book to start out with, because it doesn't get bogged down with details that are too complicated for children this age. I plan on getting the next two books for my older son.
