Its primary message is: "America, please teach our young children about their sexuality before the child molester does." In just 12 pages of rhyme, the book *gives parents a great starting point for having important, candid discussions with their children about recognizing and preventing sexual abuse *names the most common perpetrators of sexual abuse in clear, kid friendly language *informs children about the tactics perpetrators use to trick children *equips children with an action plan for telling trusted adults about abuse *empowers children to say "no" and to get righteously angry if abuse happens

 GREAT LESSONS!!! August 14, 2008
I read a lot of reviews befor I purchase products off this site. I have noticed that many parents have found books such as this one to be "too much". However, when I turn on the news and see yet another 3, 4, 5 year old little girl being taken advantage of, I figure reading to my own 5yr old daughter about these sorts of things now is by far the lesser of the two evils. I want my daughter to be as aware as possible. I feel that this book was a great addition to my collection of "Keeping Bitty Safe" books. It has a fun poem theme and is very informative. The subject of "touching" is a very hard subject to begin with and no matter what book you buy, it's not always going to be pretty when your child starts asking questions. HOwever, I think that this is a super lesson to teach children and I believe that reading a book to a child now is, as i mentioned before, a far lesser trauma to them than being abused. I would HIGHLY recommend this and any prevention book to any of my friends and other parents...

I did not know how to really approach the subject of private parts with my kids without getting into the whole "why are they private" dialogue. For me this discussion would have included a foray into social norms and customs and ended with "because I said so". This book gives the reader a tool to approach the subject with a simplicity and finality that lets the kids know that their private parts are private and that is the end of the story. I found that very helpful.

I read this book to my 3 & 4 year old sons. About halfway through, my 4 year old said "why is this book all about private parts?" My reply was that I want them to know that their body belongs to them, that they do have private parts, and to know it isn't ok for someone to touch their private parts (except for cleaning.) The book drives home this point, but does it in a child-friendly way. In a foreward in the book, a convicted sex offender places blame on parents in allowing him to so easily molest children; if parents don't teach & talk to their kids about their bodies, someone else will. Any discomfort an adult feels in reading this book to children they love is far outweighed by what it could be preventing. I think this book should be read to every child.

I purchased this for my 5 year old son and we love it. Great explaination what is private and who to talk to. I would recommend this book to anyone with kids. I also think they should have this in schools as well.

My 3 yr old granddaughter actually enjoys this book. I am unsure whether or not she is actually getting the message. Each time she visits, she asks for this book by name "my" book the "my my my" book. I enjoy reading it to her and she reads it to me in her own words. I believe she gets it. check with us later (like six months when she turns 4. I recommend it anyway. When she puts her panties on we always say, cover your 'private parts' and she definitely "gets that concept.
