Who Has What?: All About Girls' Bodies and Boys' Bodies (Let's Talk about You and Me) Hardcover – Picture Book, September 13, 2011

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.

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 was great to show my kids where the uterus is, etc. but wish it wasn't so binary - e.g. a mommy has a uterus. i really liked the "what makes a baby" book for that reason. "what makes a baby" is very informative and factually correct, colorful, and age appropriate for the 3.5yo+ crowd (although we read with 2yo, but don't think she really take it in as much), and just talks about what people have.

My grandson loved the book. He especially enjoyed illustrations and comparisons.

My kids are 6, and 4 and this was great for them. They've started asking about differences in bodies and this was great because it has lots of information with real names for things. It's so important for kids to know the names of the parts of their body! The pictures are informative, without being too graphic for small children.

This book was laid out almost perfectly! Didn't go into any advanced details, and my 6-year-old boy was actually interested (and a little surprised)! It first points out the similarities between boys and girls, then the differences. It talks about ALL the body parts (not just the privates) of babies, kids, and grown-ups, and even puppies and dogs!It may feel a little exclusive to kids who have lost or weren't born with all their limbs, fingers, toes, etc. but I think the parent could easily explain that some people are born different.Lastly, I really liked that while it didn't go into any details about HOW babies are made, it did clarify that ONLY a grown-up woman can have be a Mommy and ONLY a grown-up man can be a Daddy. Very cool book!!

Good learning book to teach about difference between boys and girls.
