Great book for 2-4 years olds....

2007-09-30
Perfect my three year old daughter. Its VERY EASY to read and follow along. It talks about what private parts are in a language that the very young can understand. My daughter didn't seem bothered by this book, its definately a new concept and its not overwhelming for a preschool child.

Great Book

This is a wonderful book, especially for parents who are uncomfortable with things like this and don't know where to start. It's definately better read aloud with the child, at least the first time, so that they can ask questions.

scared my kid a little

My young school aged child was a little scared by this book, but the topic is important. I would still read it to her again (and will). Know your child, but your child NEEDS to know about this danger in a gentle way --- this book is a good place to start.

Appropriate

I had been looking for an age-appropriate book for my 2 1/2 year old twins on the subject of body awareness and molestation prevention. The problem was that most books either just talked about body parts, or were written for an older child (so they were scarey or just over their heads). This one really addresses those problems. It is a perfect introduction for preschoolers on the subject.

Good book for younger children

I bought this book for my 7 year old daughter. It may be intended for younger children as it is quite basic. I was hoping that it would cover more information for her age group, but it was good book to purchase.

Great for very young children

This book is the best one I found on this topic for very young and innocent children. My daughter scares very easily so I needed something that would not scare her but help her understand she needs to keep her privates covered. This helped but we still have occasions when she forgets to keep the dresses DOWN! LOL

Good book for little kid

This book is a nice simple way to pave the way for more conversations about this topic.

Great intro to tough subject for preschoolers

I have two girls (ages 4 and 2) and have been struggling with how to introduce the topic of inappropriate touching to them. This book made it much easier. It handles the subject matter-of-factly and with simple to understand terms. Children learn that it's OK if they don't want to be touched, that their private areas are those that are covered by a bathing suit, and that touching is never a secret. I think it's important to introduce this subject to children at a young age and this book allows you do so in a non-threatening, non-frightening way.

Protect your small children with this book

I bought two of these little books so my children could read them to their preschool kids. It gives even preliterate children the ability to talk about things that might happen to them, despite our best efforts to protect them. If they know how to talk about improper touching, we can intervene much quicker. Besides, kids like it when we read to them.

Appropriate for Preschoolers

After reviewing several books, I found this to be the most appropriate book for my preschooler on this topic. It is a good place to start having conversations with your child and is sufficiently vague enough not to frighten him or her. I think if you have the expectation that this book IS the conversation, you will be disappointed.
