"   Question I have a little girl of eight who has just begun to ask questions about the birds and the bees. Both my wife and I would like to know if you could recommend any good books suitable for this age range that would help to explain the changes that will eventually happen to her body.  We are aware that she needs answers to her questions that are not misleading, but are unsure to how much a child of this age should be told. We are aware that these matters are discussed in the playground and would like to make sure that she is told the correct facts.    Answer Good for you! There are still far too many parents who leave their children in ignorance about &amp;#039;the birds and the bees&amp;#039;. As you rightly imply, by now she will almost certainly have been told all sorts of nonsense in the playground about where babies come from. It&amp;#039;s time she had some sensible and useful information \u2013 especially as the arrival of her periods might only be two years away! There are now quite a lot of good books that are suitable for this age group.  If you go onto the Family Planning Association website and then click on the link to their shop, you will find loads of good material that will suit you.
