Book Review
Short Summary
The Body Book for Boys was written by Jonathan Mar and Grace Norwich for boys aged 9 to 12.
As boys grow up, some may feel excited about these changes, some might feel awkward at times. They might have a lot of questions that they find difficult to talk about with anyone. This book helps answer those questions in a light and easy-to-understand manner, making it easier for readers to embrace these changes.
What This Book Is About
The book talks about growing from a child to an adult. We all know how confusing puberty can be, especially when the changes start.
This book answers questions in five chapters:
- The parts of the body above the shoulders (head and neck)
- The upper body (torso, arms, and shoulders)
- The private parts
- The lower body up to the legs and feet
- Non-physical changes
The book also gives a timeline on when these changes normally happen while also reassuring the readers that each boy develops at his own pace, and that just because someone else is developing faster doesn’t mean that they’re not normal.
Reflection and Comments
It talks about things like confidence and peer pressure, things that are just as important as the physical changes.
Because this book was written in a way that’s conversational and easy to read.
