Book Description
Recommended by members of Parents Anonymous, and available in both Spanish and English, this book helps children understand what to do when asked to keep a secret. Some secrets are fun and should be kept secret, author Johnsen explains. But if you feel hurt or confused when you're told something is a secret, you need to tell a grownup. Uses examples of secrets that will be familiar to children.

I bought this book in hopes to find something for my nephew to read and understand about certain secrets. In hopes to get something more wide range then what was in the book. It doesnt explain very well about secrets and the whole purpose of "good touch and bad touch" it says "you know the differnece" and doesnt really explain that even parents may want you to keep bad secrets. Except for the small note that its confusing if a parent wants you to keep something from the other parent. Not to mention that this book is made of very cheap paper...read the print paperback because that is sure what you get.
I wouldnt recommened this book to anybody.
It more or less will turn kids into sneaky joke playing brats because "some secrets are fun" according to the book. So go ahead and sneak up on people, and suprise them...because its "okay"
yeah right!

I found this book to be a useful therapy tool to use with my clients. I would have liked a section at the end with possible questions to pose to clients, but the book was a great first step in teaching children about secrets.

The idea is great, but not great illustrations and the message could be better.
 Lots of concrete examples August 30, 2006

I liked the concrete examples used to illustrate the process of differentiating whether secrets should be kept. Also the theme of achieving competency in learning this skill of how to differentiate; this was supported by open ended questions that allow for interaction and a sense of achievement over correctly discriminating.
This book is very useful March 14, 2006

We all have secrets, but for some kids, secrets can be confusing. This is a great book to read to or with young children, who need to understand the difference between a good secret and a toxic secret. I use it in my practice all the time, and it helps children realize they ae not alone, and that not all secrets are fun, and some even need to be shared with a trusted adult.
