Aimed at parents, teachers and others who work closely with children, this book is linked to a BBC1 series on sex education. The first section deals with the discussion of sex, sexuality and relationships with children, the second provides factual information on topics such as periods, intercourse, conception, pregnancy, birth and contraception, and the third discusses issues such as sexual activity, preferences and behaviour (including homosexuality), sexual abuse and AIDS. Short case-studies and quotes from parents and children illustrate problems, strategies, feelings and funny moments. The book also challenges ideas of sexual roles and stereotypes and recognizes religious, cultural and individual preferences, and the different needs of children at different ages. Its aim is not to encourage sexual activity among children, but to promote discussion of complex social and moral issues surrounding relationships.

Written to accompany a BBC program of the same title, Kohner's candid guide on sex education offers language lessons along with the facts. Parents, it's hoped, know the facts of life but stumble over their presentation to their children. Kohner suggests how to explain bodily functions in practical, yet not clinical, prose. Concise drawings support the discussions throughout the book. For the most part the book is unhampered by its British origin. Hopefully, the lists of organizations and the bibliography will be Americanized for the finished edition; if not, consult The Best Years of Their Lives by Stephanie Zvirin (ALA, 1993). Denise Perry Donavin
