Book
"Two books that offer basic explanations of puberty while broadly addressing vital contemporary concerns such as molestation, sexual harassment, and AIDS. Generously illustrated with cheerful, multicultural black-and-white cartoons, each title defines many of the terms and topics middle schoolers wonder about, such as the mechanics of intercourse and menstruation. The texts examine the general physical and emotional changes of adolescence, but stop short of detailed discussions of birth control, STDs, and sexual relationships. There are chapters in each volume on the importance of good decision-making that offer a couple of exercises ideal for classroom discussion and suggest questions for evaluating healthy romantic relationships. Each title includes three sets of transparent color overlays to illustrate growth, reproductive organs, and conception, which are attractive but of limited informational value."--School Library Jouranl (barnesandnoble.com)
