Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The paperback Sex, Puberty and All That Stuff: A Guide to Growing Up by Jacqui Bailey helps demystify the changes that occur during the teen years. In a reassuring, assertive tone, Bailey describes the bodily and hormonal aspects of puberty and dispels myths such as the perils of too much masturbation. Also covered are same-sex attraction, managing a good relationship and contraception. Cartoon scenarios, lists and slang add to the book's accessibility and appeal. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
VOYA
A large helping of straightforward, up-to-date information peppered with humor and bright, graphic illustrations make this book one of the best texts about sex for developing adolescents. Writing in a conversational voice that speaks directly to youth, Bailey explicitly addresses both the physiology and the psychology of puberty, while debunking the myths and answering questions about everything from pimples to pelvic exams. The first chapters deal with the biological realities of puberty, divided into "girl stuff" and "boy stuff." The text is splashed with colorful sidebars that define terminology and provide more in-depth information or practical advice about a wide range of topics. The middle of the book deals with relationships, starting with friendship and moving into romance, dating, and sex. Bailey stresses responsible decision making and explores why young people choose to have sex, tackling common myths and providing reasons not to have sex along with tips for saying no. The last third of the book, however, deals with the realities of sexual behavior, including pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, sexual abuse, and related legal issues. The message Bailey reiterates is "[Y]our body is your own . . . and no one has the right to make you do anything with it or to it that you don't want to do." To supplement her already brimming text, Bailey provides an annotated list of organizations and Web sites that provide additional information as well as a glossary of common terms. This book is one that many librarians and educators will wish that they had had when entering puberty.

    Outstanding

    Wonderful, the best book on the topic I could find after researching for weeks. Made it easy and comfortable for me to have 'the talk' with my 11 year old.

    Awesome!!

    Mom of 2 boys 13,14. This is great! It discusses everything you wouldn't even think of. The cartoon pictures make it less embarrassing for the kids, but just as informative. I've recommended it to all parents.

    Perfect!

    This is the best book I found after spending hours doing searches on the Internet and in the bookstore. It's up front about all aspects of teen sex, and tells kids the facts about everything, but in a tactful, funny, and very educational and informative way. I'm very impressed and would recommend this book to any parent with a teen or preteen.

    Sex, Puberty and the other Stuff!

    I found this book to be very informative, I bought it for my thirteen year old who I felt was just ready to learn all of what this book had to offer. I read through the book before giving it to her and I enjoyed the lessons and all that was covered. I think this is a good tool to use to talk with your kids about sex and all that it entails.
