The team behind Amazing You! gives children about to enter puberty a cartoon-illustrated introduction to the bodily changes they will soon encounter. Though not as thorough as Robie Harris and Michael Emberley's sex education guide for this age group (It's So Amazing!), the book has the same welcoming approach. Includes notes to parents about discussing the topic with their kids.

For curious preschoolers, Amazing You! explains and names internal and external sex organs without mentioning sexual relations. Psychiatrist Saltz offers further advice to parents in her (strongly opinionated) author's note. The illustrations and big, bold typeface are friendly and inviting; cartoon-style pictures show relaxed bodies and smiling sperm and egg. The brief text and simple diagrams provide clear, sound information.
