Description

For ages 9-12. With humour and sensitivity, this book provides no-nonsense answers for children—and parents—with questions about sex. Specifically designed for young readers, the book walks children through the wonders of their bodies in a direct, easy-to-read manner.

The story begins with Nicholas, aged 7, and Jenny, aged 5, learning about different types of science in their class—from ecology to the digestive system. Then Meg Hickling, a guest speaker, comes to talk to them about a new type of science.

Hickling talks about the science names for the children's body parts, about good and bad touches, and about making babies.
