Who Has What?: All About Girls' Bodies and Boys' Bodies by Robie H. Harris, Nadine Bernard Westcott

This is a wonderful book! Not only does it do a thorough job of explaining what boys and girls have in common, and not in common, but it teaches that animals have similar reproductive systems. It also is very inclusive: an interracial family, not gender conforming toys kids play with and the only women feed the babies, and a breast feeding mom at the beach. The drawings are wonderful and those alone bring up great discussions to have with little readers. Read for grad school for Info Books for Youth.

This book would be good for preschoolers. It’s very simple. The pictures, while kinda labeled with body parts (it says “opening where pee comes out” instead of urethra and “opening where poop comes out” instead of anus), are simple and not very detailed. This book talks mostly about how our bodies are different and alike. No talk about sperm or eggs or sex. No talk about personal safety (ok/not ok touching).

This book effectively teaches children about bodies. It starts by impressing upon kids that everyone has a body. Then the book details the different parts of girls' and boys' bodies in the illustrations. The pages are wordy, though, and the illustrations are detailed so this might be better suited for older children or read in sections to littles.

This book was a perfect boy parts/girl parts learning book. It even demonstrates parts on a boy dog and a girl dog as well as the human children so it was perfect for our curious son and his service dog. My only complaint was that it didn’t use the word vulva at all, but we’ll advance to another book soon. We should have introduced this book long before 9 years old, but this was the first time our son (who has special needs) was interested in the topic.

It's a little bit simplistic for my purposes, but I could see this being a good introduction for very young children. Some parents are perfectly comfortable talking to kids about their bodies, but some aren't, or they at least need a helpful nudge. That is where I see this coming into play- a good jumping off point for parents to read to kids around 5 and under. If you want to discuss good touch/bad touch, transgender people, masturbation, etc- this is not that book. But that doesn't make it bad for what it is- an introduction.

Great book to introduce children to anatomy. I feel like it could be a bit more detailed but is a nice general guide. Illustrations are inclusive.
