American Medical Association Boy's Guide to Becoming a Teen

It was a good introduction into puberty. Ten and eleven year olds may not be ready for this book.

After going through several books with this topic, I found one that discusses the issues important to a pre-teen without being graphic, immoral and too informative.
It tells what needs to be known without all the details. As his parent, I can decide which details he should know and how to explain them to him. This is a book that he can read alone and I feel comfortable with giving him that privacy. The book is very easy to read. It addresses the topics of concern to boys starting puberty. Yes, it goes over body changes and disspells myths. It briefly discusses sex. But, it isn't a "how to" book. I really like that it also pays a lot of attention to how boys/teens feel in social settings, their body images, peer pressure, substance abuse and emotions. These topics are just as important to a pre-teen than knowing all there is to know about sex.
I felt completely at ease handing this book over to my son and then discussing sections with him.

I bought book for my mother who wanted it for my brother who
wanted it for his 12-year old......whew.....

Anyhoo my mother and brother both said it was 'exactly what he needed' for introducing this 'subject'

I purchased this book for my twin 10-year-old son's (who will be starting 5th grade in August) to read. They had started to ask me questions about different things they had heard at school from their friends, etc., and I decided to look for books they could read that would give them some correct, age appropriate information.
This book is a great. It describes a variety of physical changes to boy's bodies, the importance of personal hygiene, as well as how a boys voice will begin to change and why. It discusses changes in boys' feelings, hormones (and describes what they are), and it also touches a little bit on girls/dating at the end.
It is not graphic, does not discuss sex; it is age appropriate and well written.
It is also a great "conversation starter" for Mom's like me who have no brothers and did not grow up around boys!
