As a mother to a 10-year-old boy, I've found "The Boy's Body Book (Fifth Edition): Everything You Need to Know for Growing Up!" incredibly helpful for navigating pre-adolescence with my son. It tactfully addresses a wide array of topics relevant to boys approaching puberty, from physical and emotional changes to personal hygiene and respecting others, in a straightforward and age-appropriate manner.
The book encourages open dialogue between my son and me, making him comfortable to seek answers to his queries. Its updated content is both relevant and sensitive to today's societal and technological contexts, enhancing its appeal to the modern reader.
While more illustrations would be beneficial for visual engagement, the book's comprehensive coverage and accessible language outweigh this minor shortfall. It's a valuable resource for both parents and sons, promoting a healthy understanding and acceptance of the changes during this critical growth phase.

Great book for my 12 year old.
Reviewed in Canada on 14 April 2021Verified Purchase
I am a solo mom of three boys, and even though I have no issues talking to them about most of the topics in this book, my son was not open to talk to me. I got this book (with a couple more) right after his twelve birthday, and ask him to check it out, and if he had any questions he could always come and ask. Every now and then, when I come into his room, I see the book has moved, form his bed, to the desk, to the shelves, to his bed again. I wish I had a book like this when i was his age. Recommended.

Solid, but missing some basics
Reviewed in France on 6 May 2020Verified Purchase
Looking for a book to get my 7 y.o. ready for the changes in store for his body. Really good book, age appropriate and clear, but for my son’s age, it does need to be read with a parent.
Only real complaint is that the book makes no mention of sexual orientations besides heterosexual. For a book published in 2019, I find that omission glaring. This is especially notable in that the book mention attraction and not rushing into crushes (see photo) AND has a great section on bullying (both real and cyber). How can you explore the stress and anxiety of sexual maturation without acknowledging that some people will feel differently, be different and act differently in their development and attraction? Just a quick mention to highlight that these differences are normal and perhaps a few resources as references for kids who want more info would have sufficed.
Otherwise, good book.

Wanted to find something for my son to read to learn about the changes his body will go through and a way for him to read about those changes on his own and this book was perfect.
