highly recommended

In simple, reassuring language, therapist Cornelia Spelman explains that a child's body is his or her own; that it is all right for children to decline a friendly hug or kiss, even from someone they love; and that "even if you don't want a hug or kiss right now, you can still be friends." A prefatory note helps parents talk to their children about good and bad touching. Full color.

Great for very young children

This book is the best one I found on this topic for very young and innocent children. My daughter scares very easily so I needed something that would not scare her but help her understand she needs to keep her privates covered. This helped but we still have occasions when she forgets to keep the dresses DOWN! LOL

Protect your small children with this book

I bought two of these little books so my children could read them to their preschool kids. It gives even preliterate children the ability to talk about things that might happen to them, despite our best efforts to protect them. If they know how to talk about improper touching, we can intervene much quicker. Besides, kids like it when we read to them.

Good book for little kid

This book is a nice simple way to pave the way for more conversations about this topic.

Great intro to tough subject for preschoolers

I have two girls (ages 4 and 2) and have been struggling with how to introduce the topic of inappropriate touching to them. This book made it much easier. It handles the subject matter-of-factly and with simple to understand terms. Children learn that it's OK if they don't want to be touched, that their private areas are those that are covered by a bathing suit, and that touching is never a secret. I think it's important to introduce this subject to children at a young age and this book allows you do so in a non-threatening, non-frightening way.

SMART book

This is a book that children can related to and adults can agree with. These things need to be talked about and taught to children.
