Synopsis

"Let's Talk About Sex" gives the facts - both biological and psychological about sex - from conception and puberty to birth control and AIDS, including sections on the body, families and babies, and sexual health. The book's serious and educational matter is presented in a readable form, with cartoon illustrations and the speech-bubble comments of two characters, a curious bird and a squeamish bee, which reflect the diverse feelings children have about sex. The book aims to provide honest and lucid answers to the questions that children really ask.

A great book...
