Sex Is a Funny Word: A Book about Bodies, Feelings, and You by Cory Silverberg
4.0
This book explains a lot of things, but what I appreciated the most was all of the questions at the end of the sections. Families reading it together would have lots of opportunities to discuss things that many kids are wondering and might be afraid to ask. Children reading it on their own would also understand that if they are wondering these things, they are obviously not alone and might actually venture to talk to someone they trust.
The illustrations look a lot like those of Todd Parr and his books are generally for the primary grades. That caused me to think this book was for a younger set initially. It definitely works for upper elementary, but may be borderline for middle school because they may think the same thing.
I wish I had books like this when I was growing up. School was inadequate and there were things in this book I definitely would have benefited from knowing at an earlier age.
