¿Qué es esto?

Gr 5–8—Blanco offers a candid and revealing informational book in Spanish about gender and sex education. Readers will learn about the human body, puberty, sex, pregnancy, familiar contraceptive methods, and gender. The digitally produced illustrations are cartoonish and kid-friendly. The witty drawings and the youthful language enhance the overall reading experience. However, two pieces of information appear scientifically inaccurate when discussing the production of female eggs during puberty, and the suggestion that fetal sex cannot be determined until the last ultrasounds in pregnancy is suspect. In addition, the author employs the informal term barriga, widely used in Argentina, perhaps to infuse the narrative with a colloquial language approach, but which might render it too casual in an educative text that seeks to reach students of other nations.
