Parents are outraged over children's picture book 'My Body Is Growing', which is aimed at four to eight year olds and contains descriptions of sexual intercourse

A children's book aimed at four to eight year olds has been slammed by parents.The book, which is called 'My Body Is Growing', by Dagmar Geisler, 64, contains explicit descriptions of sex, to act as a 'guide' for children in 'learning about their bodies and sex'.A blurb of the book on Amazon reads: 'In My Body is Growing, Dagmar Geisler works to show preschool and early elementary readers that we're really not all that different, regardless of whether we're boys or girls.

'Though we may all seem similar on the outside, we are each our own person on the inside. At this age, our bodies and our minds are changing-we're growing up!

'By getting to know the students of Class 4B, young readers will learn how their own minds and bodies work. They'll learn about friendship, about gender stereotypes, and about the rights they have, even (and especially) as children.

'Dagmar also addresses sexual abuse and why it's so important to report it to an adult.

'Additionally, through stories and antics of the older siblings of Class 4B, readers will be introduced to the topics of puberty, falling in love, having sex, and becoming pregnant.

'Dagmar Geisler's My Body is Growing is the perfect introduction to body awareness and sexual education for preschool and early elementary school students.'

Taking to Twitter to discuss the book, one parent wrote: "This is disgusting, this book is made for 4-8 year old kids, they're grooming our children and no one is talking about it or even trying to do anything about it.

"I bet they show this stuff in school. This is how they destroy a whole society."

A second said: "I'm about to contact my kids' school and demand an inventory list from their damn library!Another commented: "This is totally inappropriate. I would be homeschooling my kids."
