What do you want to know about sex?
Information about sex is everywhere. But what you learn from TV, movies, the internet, and friends is not always a healthy or accurate view of sexuality.
Now revised and updated with current facts, Joanna Cole's Asking About Sex & Growing Up is the perfect book to provide answers to questions about sex. Writing especially for preteens, the author uses a question-and-answer format to offer straightforward information on a wide variety of subjects related to sex and puberty.
Joanna Cole is the author of the popular Magic School Bus series, I'm a Big Brother, I'm a Big Sister, and many other award-winning books. In Asking About Sex & Growing Up, she provides a reassuring blend of practical guidance and scientific fact for the audience that needs it most.

I think you should get this book if your parents say its ok. It doesn't matter if its for boys too ir not. But before you get it ask your parents first. Welcome!

I agree, its disgusting. But think about it; how did you come to the earth? Its all part of life to have it to make children. However, this is not something that a young child from 7-12 years old should be reading. In 13, and of course i know about it. Its on TV, in songs, and in books. And in middle school, i hear stuff all the time that is inappropriate. But sooner or later kids should learn. But asking parents is akward and strange. Dont people have health class though? As you get older, questions are answered. But no kids should read about it if they are young and think it is ok to do it. you should be married and at least 25 before you have it. Thats just my opinion. ~Booklover13 (but not a lover of this book!)

Theres always a certain time where your parents need to tell you about sex. Its part of growing up for children. 10 years of age probably. Someone told you once right? Now this book is telling you and helping parents explain

A lot of this should be an adult topic. This just encourages stuff that should be left for adults and I'm sure an awful lot of adults would not want their kids reading this! I wouldn't give this any stars if I could!

Ok so I think its ok for kids/teens under 16 to read. Im only 11, and i can not buy this. But,its ok for kids/teens to learn about sex. Its a part of life,just deal with it... so, in conclusion, its ok for kids/teens to learn and read sex
