"They kiss each other all over their bodies. Behind the ears, on the neck, on the chest and stomach, even on the bum and between the legs."

"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.”
Another replied to say they'd be contacting their child's school and asking if the book was in the library.
A third said: “Disgusting. If I got that sent home it would be ‘lost’.
"I would offer to pay for a more appropriate one. FFS!”
One user said children should be able to wait until they're older to find out more about the birds and the bees.
"Why the hell can't kids just grow up in their own time instead of having stuff like this forced upon them from such an early age?" they wrote.
"Although a certain culture encourages this behaviour, innocence is non-existent nowadays.
"Leave it 'til at least high school age."
A blurb of the short 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.
