From Publishers Weekly:
Responding to recent publicity about child abuse, several publishers have brought out books for children on the subject. This is a delicate task because it requires alerting children to some rather horrible facts of life without leaving them terrified of people. In What Should You do When . . . ?, children are advised to go to their teacher if a stranger tries to take them home from school. In Sometimes It's Okay to Tell Secrets, children learn what to do if "your teacher does something that makes you feel weird or yucky." In It's Okay to Say No, children are urged to run home if a stranger tries to talk to them. (Good advice if you're near home, but what if you're not?) Children, who tend to be very literal-minded, may have a hard time applying some of these rules to actual life. And the contradictions in these books underscore the fact that children need to be taught, on an individual level, procedures that will ensure safety in particular situations. (For slightly older children, Oralee Wachter's No More Secrets for Me is one of the best choices.)

Gr 7 Up--This book goes over much of the same ground covered in previous Rosen publications, such as Barbara Moe's Everything You Need to Know About Sexual Abstinence (1996). Brief chapters offer easy-to-understand, superficial coverage of the subject and related issues. The dangers of teenage sex are addressed, as are the benefits and difficulties of choosing abstinence. Many justifications are cited to help teens feel comfortable with that choice. Ayer begins each chapter with a scenario in which a teen must choose whether or not to become sexually active, followed by a discussion of the physical and emotional ramifications; practical advice from experts, lay adults, and fellow teens; and statistics. The type size is large and dark with wide spacing on the page. Stock black-and-white and full-color photographs appear throughout. A strictly additional purchase that duplicates material found in similar series titles.
