Didn't go over as well as I had hoped.

Easy reading

I thought this book would have fun and informative facts which my grandkids might enjoy, even laugh about. What I didn't realize was that it also covered sex topics. This is not age appropriate for some kids. So be aware before gifting to children....

Some really funny info and interesting facts in book. Also some information that is a little explicit if you get my meaning - was surprised because it was a gift and children shouldn't read!
