I bought several different puberty books to determine which one might be a good fit for our son. This one dipped its toe into some of the more mature topics and struck a *decent* balance between shying away from things and sharing too many details. (I'm shocked at how MUCH information is in some kids' books out there!) But I almost felt like this was lacking information sometimes, like it would bring up a topic and then not go deep enough to be helpful. (For example: it tells what an erection is, okay that's helpful. But another book I looked at had a little info on what you can do if it happens at school etc. which I feel like I would want if I was a boy trying to navigate that, right?) I felt like this one didn't have a super strong voice either. Some of the other ones I tried were very conversational and others were very informational; this one was kind of in-between and nondescript. But my biggest issue is with errors that should have been caught by an editor. There are comma splices GALORE in this book. (That's a big pet peeve of mine, so I noticed every single one!) Then just when I was starting to think maybe in England (Was this written in England? They talk about a pot of yogurt and crisps, so I'm assuming) back on topic - when I was thinking maybe in England they use commas more liberally, I saw typos like "and and," or "the a," or a quotation mark without a buddy. There were also little speech bubbles where the first two lines went close to the margin of the bubble, and then there was a third line with one word on it. I wanted them to make those more visually pleasing, but that's just me being neurotic. It also kind of bothered me how many times they talked about pimples as "spots," and it bothers me that the book ends on page 69, since our son was already asking us about that number. 😬😬😬 I think we'll be returning this one and going with one of our other options.

if you have a son aged 8-14, get this book.

When it comes to talking about puberty, things can get really awkward, really fast. But this guide handles all the big changes—voice drops, growth spurts, everything—with such a great, reassuring tone. It manages to explain what's happening to a boy's body without making anyone feel embarrassed or weird.
My favorite part is how it normalizes everything. It tells young kids, in simple English, that what they're experiencing is totally standard and nothing to worry about. It’s written in a way that feels like a friendly, older mentor is talking to them, not a dry science textbook. It’s practical, comforting, and gives boys the confidence they need as they grow up. Highly recommend!

Very Good info for young boys

This one of those books that you don’t know your kid needs until it’s probably too late. This is a very helpful guide that’s short so it doesn’t require a lot of focus. If you are clueless or want to avoid weird conversations this is a great book to pick up.
