Title: Lintball Leo's Not-So-Stupid Questions About Your Body (For Boys Only!) Author: Dr. Walt Larimore with John Riddle. Drawings by: Mike Phillips Publisher: Zonderkidz ISBN: 0-310-70545-2 Genre: Inspirational/Nonfiction/Boys/Health
Lintball Leo's Not-So-Stupid Questions About Your Body is everything a boy should know but is too embarrassed to ask. Written in an easy-to-read, conversational style, your 8 to 12-year-old son will feel comfortable learning about the changes his body will be experiencing without having to read a health text book in school or discussing embarrassing topics with their parents.
The book covers issues like:
. I don’t like my body! . Getting enough sleep . Tattoos and other body piercing . Hair: up here and down there
--and many other subjects that a boy needs to know about. This book will also save Mom the embarrassment of having to answer questions when their son discovers something weird growing and wonders if it’s normal!
The book is recommended for preteens, but I’m also going to have my fourteen-year-old son read this book as it also covers issues like when does a boy need to begin shaving and why purity is important. I highly recommend Lintball Leo's Not-So-Stupid Questions About Your Body as it covers everything a boy will experience (and things a mom doesn’t know) and is a good alternative to text books. This book is perfect for the homeschool family to cover sex-education for boys.
The only thing I really didn’t like about the book was the whole story was a conversation between a lintball and a boy and that seemed to dumb it down considerably.
Pick up a copy of Lintball Leo's Not-So-Stupid Questions About Your Body today for your son or grandson. This would also be good for mom to read, if the boys are already asking her questions about growing up. I wish I would have known about it before my boys approached me for the “Help! I don’t understand what is happening to me” conversations.
