Wednesdays with The Subversive Children's Book Club: Sex Education

Happy Valentine's Week!  In honor of same, this installment of the Subversive Children's Book Club will be about sex education, an area in which many of us parents are apparently falling down on the job if the rates of sexually transmitted infections among young adults are any indication.  Knowledge is power, people.  Ignorance is helplessness.  Below are some very useful classics. Enjoy.
