Book Reviews of Your Body Belongs to You
Book Review: DISAPPOINTED!
Summary: 2 Stars
I was disappointed in this book. This book states that it is for ages 4 thru 8. I bought this for my 7 year old. This book is more for ages 2 thru 4. I have a 4 year old so I read it to him and it is now his book. This book is way too vague for an older child about who and where you should and should not be touched. Surprisingly it talks more about how it is ok to tell mom or dad or someone you love when you don't feel like giving them an innocent hug or innocent kiss. The following is from 2 pages in the book.
'Sometimes you don't like to be touched. Sometimes you don't want a hug or kiss, even from someone you love. Then you can say, "No, not right now, please!" Or you can show you don't want to be touched by not hugging or kissing back, or by pulling away.'
That was 2 pages from the book. That is mainly what it discusses. I wanted more about the wrong kind of touching. It only briefly scanned over that in the book. This book is not worth the money, but the book was cheap enough that I took it as a loss rather than paying for shipping to send it back. Like I said before though, I would recommend this book for much younger kids that can't understand much more than simple explanations, but because of the age range it gave and the son I originally bought it for I would have to give this book 2 stars. For my younger child if this book had said ages 2 thru 4 I would have given it 3 stars, but that is all. Still too vague for me.
Book Review: Friends child loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this book for a friend who has a daughter and her daughter loves this book. She is 5 years old and the level of understanding is more appropriate for her age group. I think everyone who has a child needs to be concerned these days about predators and this book is creative in teaching a child that their body should only be their own and not for anyone else to touch.Book Review: DISAPPOINTED!!
Summary: 1 Stars
VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE BOOK. NOT ENOUGH DETAIL FOR KIDS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT PARTS OF THEIR BODY CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT
BE TOUCHED BY CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS; AND ALSO WHO CAN NOT AND
SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES TO TOUCH
THEM. THE BOOK WAS A WASTE OF MONEY. WISH I COULD GET A
RFUND ON THE BOOK!!
Book Review: A Grandmother's Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This book discusses a difficult subject in a kid-friendly manner. We want to arm our children with information, without making them distrustful of all people. The author and illustrator have presented a strong subject in a format that is informative, friendly, and reassuring. I highly recommend YOUR BODY BELONGS TO YOU.Book Review: Your Body Belongs to You
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for a book to help me explain to my children ages 3 and 5 that their body is theirs and they are the only ones who can touch their private parts. Also, that they have the right to refuse any kind of touch that makes them uncomfortable and this book illustrated this concept very well.
