Detailed examination of male puberty submitted by willow on August 2, 2016, 11:57am This book is about the physical (and to some degree emotional) changes that mark puberty in boys. It contains hygiene information like the importance of showering.

This book is not about female reproduction/puberty or sexuality, or anything related such as HIV/STIs/pregnancy.

There is a description of things like acne, body hair, chest development and voice changes, as well as private parts. Basically each rough division of the body gets its own chapter.

There are fairly realistic drawings throughout. The tone is positive and friendly.

I have found no equivalent for girls, which is unfortunate. The closest thing is probably the Care and Keeping of You for younger girls.

A must for boys submitted by Harlowamy on August 28, 2021, 5:00pm Lots of helpful info
