The Boys Body Book: Everything You Need to Know for Growing Up YOU

As boys reach adolescence, everything changes: their bodies, their feelings, and their relationships. Their world turns shaky just when they find it hardest to talk with the adults in their lives.  But even if they won&;t say what&;s on their mind, they still want straight answers. 

 The Boy&;s Body Book provides them, in a readable, reassuring, and illustrated guide.  It covers a boy&;s every concern: hygiene, exercise, teachers, peer pressure, sex, and siblings.  He&;ll learn about what&;s going on physically (vocal changes, body hair) and how to handle academic pressures, deal with out-of-control feelings, make new friends, and stay safe through it all. 

This invaluable manual is modeled after the blockbuster American Girl® title, The Care and Keeping of You.  Boys haven't had thier equivalent and parents, teachers and booksellers have been demanding one.  Here it is... and every boy should own it!
