DS10 has started asking a range of quite sensitive questions around sex, human biology and relationships. I'm a lone parent and DS was conceived with a donor using IVF and I'm quite open about things with him. But I'm not sure what he is hearing from his peers and I think he'd benefit from reading some things for himself and explained in a better way than I can (or his friends can!).

Does anyone have any book recommendations which are pitched towards children of this age?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations and sorry if I should have posted this in Sex rather than Primary Education...

"let's talk about sex (changing bodies, growing up, sex, gender and sexual health)"

I don't have the book but I do have another "let's talk" book aimed at slightly younger children and it's excellent.

Thanks for all the suggestions @BoleynMemories13 , @AlwaysColdHands and @NameChange30. I have ordered them all and will first read them myself - who knows, I will probably learn something new!

Kay’s Anatomy is a good all round body book for that age which has a section on reproduction
