Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I accidentally came across this book via an American Girl FB post. I was so excited to see a boy's version of the girl's book that I know and love. This book didn't disappoint. It is literally the boy version of The Care and Keeping of You. It talks about taking care of your body, the changes you will see in your body, etc. For those who are wondering how in detail it gets with "boy" stuff, there is a two page spread on the different stages of growth and there are cartoon drawings to show each stage (penis/testicle/pubic hair.) There is a section that talks about circumcision and explains what it is. There is also a two page spread that talks about erections, how to hide them if it accidentally happens when you're with people, and there are a couple paragraphs about nocturnal emissions/wet dreams. This book does not go into sex or sexuality, which I love because I don't think that's appropriate for the age group the book is written for. The nocturnal emission part is tasteful and done from a scientific perspective only, i.e. it is a normal part of growing up and it is nothing to be embarrassed about, and don't worry, it's not pee. It doesn't go into anything further than that. Overall I am very happy with this book! Oh yeah- one more thing- there is no "American Girl" branding on the front of the book, but it does have it mentioned inside the front cover, probably where most boys wouldn't read anyway. :)
