Joanna Cole provides concise factual information on sex and relationships that will be informative to ten to twelve year old children. Especially interesting is the inclusion of masturbation and homosexuality--chapters that seem safe and conservative to me, but that will probably generate controversy among the religious right. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0688069282, Paperback)

Today's children hear about sex all the time-on television, in the movies, and from their friends. But what they hear and see does not always give a healthy or even an accurate view of sexuality.

This unique book, the only one of its kind for preteens, uses a question-and-answer format to offer straightforward information on a wide variety of subjects that often concern and mystify young people.
