Review: Age appropriate, easy read - After kids of research for the right intro to puberty book for or 10 year old, we landed in this one. The author writes in a way that is easy to read and relatable to boys that age. It does not come across preachy or condescending, but more like a big brother or trusted friend who's talking to them. I didn't feel like it went into too much detail about things he's not ready for yet. And everything was written in a simple, chill, matter-of-fact way. We are super open and had already discussed some of this with our son as well as how babies are made etc. We have always answered questions as they come, as well as checking with him to see if he had any questions in our regular conversations. So a lot of this wasn't completely new to him. However it got through to him better than we could. When your mom and dad say it's important to put your deodorant on and shower everyday, kids probably feel like it's just another naggy thing parents want you to do. But when they read it in a book or a cool big brother figure tells them and even explains it (likely just as the parents had), it clicks in their brain. My son stopped fighting us on the daily shower after reading this and he is taking better care of his skin. I'm glad we purchased this one! It's an awesome and helpful book that I wish was around for my brothers! Review: Excellent Boy Version of The Care and Keeping of You! - I accidentally came across this book via an American Girl FB post. I was so excited to see a boy's version of the girl's book that I know and love. This book didn't disappoint. It is literally the boy version of The Care and Keeping of You. It talks about taking care of your body, the changes you will see in your body, etc. For those who are wondering how in detail it gets with "boy" stuff, there is a two page spread on the different stages of growth and there are cartoon drawings to show each stage (penis/testicle/pubic hair.) There is a section that talks about circumcision and explains what it is. There is also a two page spread that talks about erections, how to hide them if it accidentally happens when you're with people, and there are a couple paragraphs about nocturnal emissions/wet dreams. This book does not go into sex or sexuality, which I love because I don't think that's appropriate for the age group the book is written for. The nocturnal emission part is tasteful and done from a scientific perspective only, i.e. it is a normal part of growing up and it is nothing to be embarrassed about, and don't worry, it's not pee. It doesn't go into anything further than that. Overall I am very happy with this book! Oh yeah- one more thing- there is no "American Girl" branding on the front of the book, but it does have it mentioned inside the front cover, probably where most boys wouldn't read anyway. :) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #766 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Children's Books on Maturing #4 in Children's Personal Hygiene Books (Books) #7 in Children's Books on Boys' & Men's Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 9,703 Reviews | ## Images ![Guy Stuff: The Body Book for Boys - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UyyjRIS-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Age appropriate, easy read *by J***N on October 9, 2024* After kids of research for the right intro to puberty book for or 10 year old, we landed in this one.

Both of my boys (10yo and 7yo) have read significant portions of it already without complaint, and they retained enough that they talked about various things they learned with me after the fact. My kids are outliers for reading ability, so I cannot speak to whether other kids their age could do the same, but it is an interesting and well-written book for those comfortable with reading. This book is amazing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Guy Stuff: The Body Book for Boys (American Girl® Wellbeing) - The Care and Keeping of You 1: The Body Book for Younger Girls (American Girl® Wellbeing) - Guy Stuff Feelings: Everything you need to know about your emotions (American Girl® Wellbeing) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/45682111-guy-stuff-the-body-book-for-boys](https://www.desertcart.at/products/45682111-guy-stuff-the-body-book-for-boys) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
