Book Reviews of My Body Is Private (Albert Whitman Prairie Books)

Book Review: This book should be read to every child.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a wonderful book designed to help prevent child molestation. The author explains the topic of bodily privacy in a clear, yet thorough manner. The story is told from the point of view of an adolescent girl who describes appropriate boundaries for physical contact. This book is written in such a natural and easy style that it precludes any discomfort a parent might feel in raising this topic with his/her child. This book is also well-suited to a wide age range and is an excellent starting point for more discussion. As a parent, I intend to read it periodically to my children -- making sure to introduce it again and again as they progress through the developmental stages.
