Any good suggestions for books to help explain/illustrate the facts of life for pre-teen boys?

It's Perfectly Normal by Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley is what I gave to my DS12. It says for ages 10 and up. It talks about both boys and girls and their changing bodies and then talks about sex, birth control, STDs etc. I read it before I gave it to him in case he had any questions.

I gave ds12 It's So Amazing when he turned 10. It pretty much covers everything, including graphics.

Questions Kids Ask about Sex: Honest Answers for Every Age
By Melissa Cox

It has a Christian type undertone, and is very open and honest.

I got it for him when it came out - actually pre-ordered it - and he still has it on his bookshelf. I am glad that he can look stuff up on his own, and then come to us if he still has questions. He is 13.

What's Going On Down There? has been very helpful.

"What's Happening to Me? by Peter Mayle, for both boys and girls, is terrific!

I suggest starting with Animal Planet, and then moving onto the human version on those channels.
