The Boy's Body Book (Fifth Edition): Everything You Need to Know for a Healthy, Happy YOU! (Boys & Girls Body Books) Paperback – Illustrated, May 7, 2019

Started reading this to my son when he was 8, he's now 9 and we're still going. He loves it. It explains things in a very easy way, and he can ask questions without being embarrased. I would definitely recommend this book.

I'm hard of hearing. How do I talk to him? I ordered a book after giving it to him. He understood. Thanks for the book.

I am a strong advocate for having these materials readily available before a child ever needs them. I purchased this book over a year ago and this week, at the age of nine our oldest is entering puberty. It is said that it happens much earlier for kids now and, I wanted to have a reliable resource available that was written so that he could understand it on his own, we could go over some of the sections together, and it has been very helpful for him.Kids get a lot of information from other kids at school and today he shared with me that he was so relieved to discover that blood wouldn’t be squirting out of his penis each month. It’s just so important to have information available before they need it. Kids are under so much pressure and life is so much harder than when I was a kid. This is the last thing they should be wearing about.

Good knowledge for young males

As a mother to a 10-year-old boy, I've found "The Boy's Body Book (Fifth Edition): Everything You Need to Know for Growing Up!" incredibly helpful for navigating pre-adolescence with my son. It tactfully addresses a wide array of topics relevant to boys approaching puberty, from physical and emotional changes to personal hygiene and respecting others, in a straightforward and age-appropriate manner.The book encourages open dialogue between my son and me, making him comfortable to seek answers to his queries. Its updated content is both relevant and sensitive to today's societal and technological contexts, enhancing its appeal to the modern reader.While more illustrations would be beneficial for visual engagement, the book's comprehensive coverage and accessible language outweigh this minor shortfall. It's a valuable resource for both parents and sons, promoting a healthy understanding and acceptance of the changes during this critical growth phase.

I got this for my son, and while some of it made him giggle, it also has been helpful for him to use while he's trying to navigate new feelings, smelly armpits, and more. Highly recommend!

Must have book, gave it to our 10 y/o, he likes learning about growing up!

My 9(almost 10) yr old son and I read some of this every night before bed. Makes for great conversation and helps these uncomfortable topics become normal and helps him feel a little more comfortable opening up about things. Definitely recommend.
