Who Has What?: All About Girls' Bodies and Boys' Bodies (Let's Talk about You and Me)

This book is phenomenally written and illustrated. It approaches a subject matter that is often very uncomfortable for parents to discuss and is geared toward the 3-7 age group where those sorts of “awkward” questions start to become more prevalent. It presents the information in a factual, anatomically correct manner that also incorporates diversity and family inclusion (i.e. showing that a man/dad can feed a baby with a bottle, a woman/mom can feed a baby with her breast or a bottle, etc.) As the mother of a boy, I am also thankful that the author specifically mentioned that girls AND boys cry, girls AND boys have feelings, and so on—I firmly believe in teaching boys that they do not have to “act tough” or “man up.” This book not only approaches the subject matter from a reproductive standpoint but also from a “potty” standpoint, discussing what parts of the body are for peeing or pooping, which can be helpful for parents who are potty training. I think in general that this book is a staple for every home with young children who are rightfully curious about their bodies and deserve to have access to appropriately designed educational materials regarding those questions. I do want to say however that I mentioned the age group in my review specifically because I do not feel that this book would be helpful for older children/those approaching the puberty years. This book is primarily geared toward preschoolers and kindergarteners who just need to know the bare minimum, the appropriate terms and most basic functions of their bodies. This book does not discuss intercourse, “how babies are made”, pregnancy (aside from some images of pregnant women and talk about breasts for breastfeeding), or changes that occur during puberty.

I just finished reading this to my 5 year old daughter after she caught a glimpse of a boy peeing from his "belly button". I thought I could handle it on my own until she started grilling me on what a penis looks like. I jumped right on Amazon and made sure I got prime delivery to get some assistance with answering her questions asap. The book was perfect for her age. The book starts out with all of the body parts, including nipples (which I didn't even realize I hadn't taught her yet). Then as the kids get changed into their bathing suits, it shows the boy and girl without clothes on and points out the different holes. It shows which holes pee and poop come out of. The next part gives an inside view of reproductive organs. The book also features boy and girl puppies and explains that they have those parts too. The book mentions that women carry babies in their uterus and that mommies can feed babies from their breasts or mommies and daddies can feed babies breast milk or formula from a bottle. My daughter asked a few questions and we talked about everything as long as she wanted to. By the time I was done with the book, she wanted to "read" it back to me. She focused on the beach story, the kids being friends, and the puppies more than any of the body parts. I feel like she learned a lot from the book without making it so interesting that she will run to school and start talking about penises and vaginas all day! I also think it will make a great tool to use to get into more detail later when she is a little older.

I really enjoyed reading this book with my daughter. The colorful illustrations and child-friendly explanations about body differences made it both engaging and educational. Highly recommend for parents and caregivers!

Both my boys (6 and 4) were really interested in this book and it has served as a good introduction to the 'where do babies come from?' conversation that we will have in the future. The illustrations are nicely done and the whole book has a simple and matter of fact tone, which focuses more on how all our bodies are actually very similar, rather than different. I like the fact that the parallels between human bodies and animal bodies were included.

Love this book! Great way to teach young children correct terminology of body parts. My little ones love learning.

This is a great teaching tool! My cousins recommended it and I’m so glad I got it! By sharing what our bodies have my kids have less curiosity and a better understanding of appropriate boundaries. Love it!

Read this to 6 and 8 yr old granddaughter. It explained different body parts, not to let people touch you all done tactfully. Helped to understand what makes a boy and girl same and what makes them different. Lots of colorful vivid pics and adding dogs to this book Makes it so interesting. Easy to understand and cartoon like.

This book is perfect for our curious preschooler who was no longer taking our word for it and wanted to see the differences between girls and boys. I purchased this book along with two others to preview and decide which would be best for our child and this one stood out because for us at this stage it's just enough information to satisfy his curiosity without overwhelming him with too many medical terms. There's a familiar narrative of a family at the beach as background which I think helps him process and better understand the body parts. We enjoy the pictures and message that girls and boys can do the same things. As another reviewer said I would have preferred a more obvious breastfeeding picture but for us it's ok because with a baby in the family breastfeeding was something that was seen live. It has stimulated further conversations about where babies come from and also some disappointment that we don't all have the same parts/a wish to be a mommy not just a daddy so be prepared for more thoughtful conversations with your child. I would and have recommended this to friends

My 6 year old son likes it and he learnt a lot from it regarding different genders

My kids can't get enough of this book. They love it. I didn't realize it was huge and hardcover, but that's okay. It's lovely to read, and the pages are silky, and the colours are "living." It's simple, it's straightforward and my kids always ask to read it. They are 4 and 2

Bought this for my 6 almost 7 year old and she got bored fast. Very repetitive. But served its purpose to help me naturally talk about all body parts.

The text is easy to be followed.

Awesome book. Saves a lot of embarrassments. Illustrations are great . It's so much easier to introduce body parts to my four year old now, with this book. Must have for all parents. Start sex education early.
