Next up, I'd like to highlight Sandy Kleven's The Right Touch: A Read-Aloud Story to Help Prevent Child Sexual Abuse. Illustrated by Jody Bergsma, this book deals with a sensitive subject in a thoughtful, non-scary manner, providing parents and other caregivers with a framework for discussing sexual abuse with their own children.
The Right Touch covers good and bad touching, how to say no when you feel uncomfortable, and what parts of the body are private. The back cover even has illustrations of every kind of feeling you could think of, from "confused" or "stubborn" to "silly" or "confident." It is a great tool for talking about feelings, and would recommend it for a child of any age.
If you want to read through this book before you buy, check it out at BigUniverse.com. All of the text and illustrations are available to you, just like if you picked the book up in a store to browse through.
