While it is good that the book emphasized that our body parts are our own, the tone felt much too playful. I’d prefer to call body parts by their scientific name and treat them as such - body parts.

Funny and has some great helps but I couldn't get over that it says willy a million times. I personally prefer to use proper terms for body parts.

The overall message is that "my willy belongs to me," which I think is great. The book is fairly short, and some of the text I agree with, but some I didn't like. The book does end with good info for parents on how to talk with kids about boundaries and their bodies. I wish there was a recommended age on this.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

An inclusive picture book that promotes body positive for boys (or, as the book notes, individuals who have a penis). While I found some of euphemistic descriptions for both the penis and the ways young boys sometimes interact with their penises off putting, I was overall impressed by the way this book dealt with topics like bodily differences between men and the people who can and cannot touch a small child. The resource section for parents in the back was also very well done.

I liked the idea behind this book but I don't think the execution was great.

The book would be confusing for some young children and the images aren't great for me.

That said it is slightly better than the companion book aimed at girls - it is 3 stars from me for this one.
