Review:

“Kaeser pulls no punches in his honest approach to the birds and the bees. Parents who put his advice within the context of his primary message--the three most important sex words in this book are love, respect, and trust--will have no doubt that Kaeser is deeply committed to children and their health.”
—Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW
