“A fun book that deals with a very serious subject in a child friendly way. Every parent and teacher of young children should have this book and read it time and time again.” – Barbara Nugent, Education Consultant, NSPCC
Shannon Day (verified owner) –
It’s a scary topic and this books makes sense of it at a young child’s level without frightening them. Our preppy asks to read it again and again and talks about her feelings. This makes us feel safe that her level of understanding about this topic is there. So glad I invested more n these books.

POSITIVE and EMPOWERING
I bought this as a way of introducing a difficult subject to my son (3). I’m very pleased with my choice. The pictures and language used are very positive and not scary. There is just one page where different words are used for private parts that I don’t think I’ll go into with him yet as he’s too young to understand when it is appropriate to say ‘penis’ and when it isn’t (although I get why it is important that children know the proper words for body parts). It is easy to skip past this bit however. As a teacher and parent I would definitely recommend.

INFORMATIVE WITHOUT BEING OVERWHELMING

Brilliant Worth Every Penny – Highly Recommended
Brilliant very well written, would highly recommend this book to anyone. It’s expensive for what it is but worth every penny, certainly in my house where my young child likes to discard clothes at earliest opportunity. I’ve been trying to find a balance in not body shaming my child but also what’s appropriate and not. I joined this group on fb when daughter was a young baby as I really liked their philosophy, now I’m pleased to buy and read the book. It’s in great speech for a four year old with ‘pee and poo’ words to capture them and keep them enthralled. This is a book I will pass on in the future.

Perfect of Pre-School and Entry in School
The rhyme is very slightly clumsy- but who cares!?!
I read a article on a news app that really upset me about child-on-child sexual assaults. I’ve always been cautious of adult behaviour, but my son is heading to school this year and this report really bothered me. This book is GREAT- lovely interactive element and my son (aged 3) loves it. He answers the questions, shouts at the story and is very proud when he gets its right! I hope more parents teach their children to say “no” and tell a safe adult about any behaviour that upsets them.
Well worth every penny!

Well done, awesome book. I hope this book will not only teach children about keeping themselves safe, it will also give them the courage to speak to someone.

I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS BOOK TO SEVERAL FRIENDS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN
This book was recommended by a friend who used it with her children. I found it was a very good and non-scary way to introduce to my five-year-old the fact that people should not touch you under your underpants and that, if they do, you should Run, Kick, and Scream…and find and tell an adult who wasn’t there. It also points out when it is okay for someone to touch you under your underpants (doctor or parent when you are hurting and with your permission). It was a nice gate-way book and allowed me a way to tell my children that if someone does touch you under your underpants, they will tell you not to tell your parents and that you will get in trouble if you do. I was able to reinforce that “this is a lie and that a person who says this is sick and needs help, and that person can’t get help unless you tell me or tell another adult you feel safe with.”

GREAT BOOK – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I absolutely love this book! My daughter just turned 3 when we started to read this. She is making sure the door is closed when she used the bathroom so no one sees “her private parts.” She also is making sure she is fully covered. Before this book we had issues with her keeping her clothes on! This book has helped tremendously keeping her private parts – PRIVATE!
This book also has practical real life scenarios that kids can be put in. The end of the book asks questions, giving kids time to think and answer. The next page then tells the answer. We are able to discuss and see where my daughters ideas are in the situations. This is great!! I hope she is never in a bad situation but its great to prepare her.

This book is perfect for small children to understand. They think it is hilarious because it talks about bums and poo, love the rhyme and say it along with me.

So I haven’t yet read this book with my 5 year old daughter, I am not convinced the message is clear enough really, I have a good open dialogue with my daughter and am not embarrassed or uncomfortable talking about this subject, I guess if you don’t know how to start the conversation then this book would help. . either way it will empower innocent parents, carers and children, so it’s a good thing.

Mr Neil D.Armour –
I really like this book. The message is undeniably important, and it has encouraged my daughter to think about her own personal boundaries which can only be a good thing. We know that it has made a difference because she has told us about having to tell some of her (4 year old) peers that “what’s under my pants belongs only to me!”.
I have taken off a star because the rhyming can sometimes be cumbersome and doesn’t flow entirely flawlessly which can lead to the reader stumbling over their words a little. But this is a minor point.
I would encourage anyone with a small child, male or female, to get this book as early as possible. It is never too early to start empowering children with control over their own bodies.

HELPFUL BOOK
Good book for teaching children about a subject that can be difficult to talk about. However, the rhyme doesn’t really rhyme and some of the words describing body parts are not really appropriate for very young children, so I just use the words that my son knows and leave out the rest. Very helpful and have recommended to a friend already.

GOOD BOOK FOR YOUNG CHILDREN
Bought this for my 6 year old. It is easy to read and understand. She likes it and the repetition of the concepts is helpful. The only thing I would change is the list of different names for the girls and boys “privates”, perhaps a few less would be better but maybe it’s ok for slightly older children who might have heard these words. Not a real problem, just personal choice really.

A MUST BUY FOR EVERY PARENT!
Fantastic book! I really don’t understand some of the negative comments about the rhyming not being very good because it’s easy for kids to understand and it’s repetitive so who gives two hoots if it’s not the best rhyming in the world! My nearly 5 year old was repeating the underpants rule by heart by the end of the book after reading it for the first time so it obviously sunk in extremely quickly and if that helps keeps her safe then I can’t not give this book 5 stars! Bright and colourful and informative without being scary – this is a must for every parent!

This book is absolutely amazing! It’s colourful & interactive what help you to keep the children interested in the topic. It explains in sensitive and delicate way underpants rules! It helps me to answer some of the questions they had, with fun and also in clever way. My daughters were very excited about learning the rule: What’s under my pants belongs only to me and others can’t touch there or ask me to see” Now they run around the house and screaming it loudly:)
The illustrations are really attractive to children: Lots of colours, different shape pants, children shown as heroes keep them entertained and happy
I think every child should have this book and read it again and again!
It’s a good read for 4+ children.

Brilliant book. Not only does it prepare children to be able to know what is acceptable from others but also what is acceptable from them. This has helped my little boy who kept showing everyone his parts! And he loves shouting the rhyme “what’s under my pants belong only to me, and nobody else can touch look or see!”
It also explains under which circumstances this rule might not be applicable and gets them to think through a situation to see if it is okay or not.

Great Book, Child Friendly
Exactly what I wanted.
A very basic black and white unforgettable message delivered in a child-friendly way.
It may prompt some difficult questions from my 7 year old but having never covered this topic before I’m grateful for a gentle way to ease into the topic! I’m certain that it is perfect for my (nearly) 5 year old
If Only I Could Read Faster –
REALLY GOODI think that it is so important to do our best to teach our children how to keep themselves safe, while at the same time not scaring them so that they don’t trust anyone! This book does the job really well.
It is bright and colourful and rhymes well, my two nearly six-year-olds love it, they think that it is fun to read but the questions in it ensure that they are listening and taking in what I’m reading. I really like that it includes the fact that sometimes people do need to see under their underpants, like a doctor or Mummy if they’re sore or unwell. I also like how easily it opens up discussions on who they know who is a safe person that they can talk to.
This book has so many positives and no negatives that I’ve found. If you want to help explain to your child/ren about keeping safe without worrying them about it then this book is a great place to start. I’d suggest that it would be suitable for children aged four to eight, with maybe a bit of leeway each side depending on the child.
Thank you to the authors for writing such a helpful book in such a fun way.

This is a good book that describes and names the private parts in a casual and funny way at first, probably to release the tension while talking about this specific topic. few situations are given and it is explained that it is good to scream or even create a scene or hit or run when abuse takes place and that it is not that every child is abused but it is just to be sure that this doesn’t happen to you.
i like the book and the content, just the background colors are too bright, otherwise the book is really value for money.

Appealing and gets the message across
The book is appealing to kids with its bright colours, and super hero boys and girls. The no touching/looking under your pants rule is given out sensitively through rhyme to ensure children are not afraid of what is being said to them. This book needs to be read on a regular basis for children to fully understand the message and not be afraid to say no. As adults we teach children to be good and do as they are told so when it comes to teaching a child to say no to an adult they need to practice in a fun way that there are times when this is ok.
Having worked with under 8’s for many years and gone through this subject with them I know that the area around saying no to an adult is the bit they find a little daunting so with the help of this book, role play and regular reading it will be one step towards keeping children safer.
