Hair in Funny Places by Babette Cole is a funny informational book about puberty. A little girl asks her bear when she will grow up to be a 'grown up.' The bear, Ted, tells her about Mr. and Mrs. Hormone and how they are in charge of turning you into a grown up. The book talks about hormones and the different effects that they have on boys and girls. The word choices that Cole uses to describe these effects are funny and keep you interested in the book. The illustrations also add to the humor as they are really funny pictures.
I think that this book would be entertaining for children learning about puberty. It adds a humorous spin to a subject that can often cause kids embarrassment when they are experiencing these changes.
