(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Robert Leighton. With Nick and Chava Castro. Gravelle (and her two teenage "advisors") takes a forthright approach to such topics as puberty, penis size, masturbation, sexual intercourse, reproduction, and STDs. The tone is candid and the advice objective. Diagrams are helpful, and cartoons lighten the mood, although it's too bad that the pictures and the text conspire to portray sperm as self-motivated "vigorous little swimmers."
