The Birds and the Bees

Three of our kids turned 8 this year so we felt like it was time to have "the talk" with each of them.  To help guide the dialog I checked out this book from the library...
I really had no idea what reaction I would get as I read it with the girls, but the one I got from Holly was hilarious.  On one of the first few pages it has an illustration of a naked man and woman to show the differences between us.  When we got to that page Holly started screaming out the names and pointing to the various body parts, saying how wrinkly and gross it was, then slammed the book shut and said, "this book sucks!"  I laughed so hard I cried.  Not at all how I envisioned it in my head.
