Product Description
"Alternately playful and realistic, Emberley's . . . art reinforces
Harris's message that bodies come in all sizes, shapes, and colors — and that each variation is 'perfectly normal.'" — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
When young people have questions about sex, real answers can be hard to find. Providing accurate, unbiased answers to nearly every imaginable
question, from conception and puberty to birth control and AIDS, IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL offers young people the information they need — now more than ever — to make responsible decisions and to stay healthy. Already used as a trusted resource in twenty-five countries around the world (and translated into twenty-one languages), IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL marks its tenth anniversary with a thoroughly updated edition that includes the latest information on such topics as birth control, hepatitis, HIV, and adoption, among others. This definitive new edition also reflects the recent input of parents, teachers, librarians, clergy, scientists, health professionals, and young readers themselves.

 DON'T READ THIS BOOK!!!! September 3, 2008

This book should definately not be given to children or teens. In my opinion, it is pornographic and totally discussing. What happened to morality. This isn't teacing anything. Shame on you PLANNED PARENTHOOD. What will they think of next. Don't waste you time or money. Don't give this to your kids.
I wouldn't even want my teens to read this... May 21, 2008

This book is heavy on sexual "mechanics" and, in my opinion, crosses the line into child porn (see pages 23 and 37).
Who needs another book that treats sex as a "function," rather than an act intended to bring children into the world and create a stronger bond between married couples?

It's extremly libral!!!
It's too much information and too graphic to share with my 10yr olds.
It's title should read something like
"A childs version of, The Joy of Sex". No referances to marriage or family it only referances having sex because it feels good. Sounds like my dog in heat!!!

The material is appropriate for teens.
What I want parents to consider is "at what age"?
Girls start puberty before boys. Different regions of the world have puberty starting sooner or later. Further, there is a huge distribution across individuals as to when puberty starts.
It is far better to have your kids learn about this "a little too soon", than "a little too late." It is the difference between embarrassment and catastrophe.
Best Regards,
- Pat

This book contains extremely explicit pictures that were deemed too graphic for at least one prison. It actully meets the requirements for pornography in most states and child pornography on some. This book is NOT appropriate for young children.
