Best children’s books about private body parts (or genitals)
Teaching your child the correct name for their genitals or private parts can be made much easier with some good children’s books about private parts. You don’t need a book to do this, but books can help start and continue the conversation with your child.
If you’re unsure of how to get started, you may find this blog post on how to teach your child the names of their private body parts useful.
These children’s books about private parts will help your child understand the differences between boys and girls (something that young children are very curious about). They’ll also teach your child the correct names of these body parts, and start to talk about body safety.
The books in this list are books that only talk about genitals. I haven’t included the more general ‘sex talk’ books that also include the genitals.
If you’re looking for a book on a different topic, look at my main list of sex education books for children. It includes over 40+ topics!
You’ll also find more information about sex education on my Sex Education 101 page.
Children’s books about genitals
You’ll find an age-specific list of children’s books about private body parts (penises and vulvas). All of the books on this topic are currently showing.
All of the ages are visible, regardless of whether they’re relevant (or not). If no books appear for your chosen age, then it means there aren’t any relevant books.
To find relevant books for your child’s age, click on their age, and the appropriate books will appear.
NOTE: Before passing any book to your child or reading it with them, you should read it yourself first. I might think it is a great book for a certain age child or that the information is valuable, but you may disagree. Try to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.
I don’t have any books on this topic for this age yet. Try another topic above.

These are some of the many children’s books about private parts that have been written. As I find more, I will add them to this list. They are all really good books that you will find useful for starting to talk about the private parts of the body.
Oh, and please do let me know if you know of a book to be added to this list!
Happy reading!
