"The story of how a text message is sent"--

In this rhythmic read-aloud, all you need is an imagination to experience the thrill of a great train ride. When a girl shouts "I can make a train noise, now!" her imagination transforms a coffee shop into a zooming train, and her words clickity-clack across the tracks and blare like a train horn. In a flash, salt shakers and ketchup bottles become skyscrapers, and the girl''s voice rattles along the tracks with "I can make a train noise I can make a train noise." Her voice whistles "Nowowwwwww!" The propulsive, rhythmic text that mimics train sounds is sure to captivate all kids, pair it with gorgeously detailed artwork and you have a read-aloud like no other. Michael Emberley, is the author and artist of many acclaimed children''s books, including most notably It''s Perfectly Normal. Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick is one of Ireland''s most distinguished illustrators of books for children. A BookPage Best Book of the Year A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Liebe und Sex sind Themen, die Kinder an der Grenze zur Pubertät brennend interessieren. »Total normal« erklärt, informiert und regt zu gemeinsamen Gesprächen über den Körper an. Wie verändert sich mein Körper, wenn ich größer werde? Was passiert bei der ersten Periode oder dem ersten Samenerguss? Wie entsteht eigentlich ein Baby? »Total normal« sind alle diese Fragen und genauso selbstverständlich, offen und sensibel gibt dieses Buch Antworten auf das, was Mädchen und Jungen schon immer über Sex wissen wollten. Dass es dabei niemals peinlich wird, dafür sorgen die beiden Comicfiguren, die mit humorvollen Dialogen durchs Buch führen.

"Über Mädchen und Jungen, vom Kinderkriegen und vom Körper" erzählt dieses Buch zugleich anspruchsvoll als auch unterhaltsam. Ab 5.

"Sexo...¿Qué es? -claro, concienciado y tranquilizador- presenta los hechos tanto biológicos como fisiológicos del sexo. Desde la concepción y la pubertad hasta el control de la natalidad y el SIDA, incluyendo artículos acerca del cuerpo, las familias y los bebés, así como finalmente la salud sexual. Por medio de sus ilustraciones de tebeo, divertidas pero siempre precisas, proporciona respuestas abiertas y completas a las preguntas que los niños realmente hacen. Eliminar prejuicios, tabúes y leyendas en torno a la sexualidad y el sexo es uno de los principales objetivos de este libro. En definitiva, un libro que explica de forma amena y clara el desarrollo, los cambios corporales, el sexo y, muy importante, la salud sexual.
