A book to help with talking about the birds and the bees?

My dd (9) has come home today, a little embarrassed and wondering if what her friends are talking about at school is right! I knew it was coming but could do with a little help! I don't want to confuse her, and I think a sensitive book might help us both! Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd be so grateful if you do xxx

Let's Talk About Sex - we got this one for DS around that age, it covers a lot of topics, without being scary.

Sorry, yes a book about a sex BUT not anything too graphic! I've been looking at reviews on amazon tonight, and some of them are way to much detail! Anal sex and the likes seem very inappropriate and would confuse her (this seen in a usbourne book). A friend recommended lets talk about sex, so I might get that. I've also been looking at mummy laid an egg too, is this too young for a nine year old though? Phraps not and also maybe a gentle way to start! Thank you guys x

I'd definitely recommend both 'What's Happening to Me' and 'Let's talk about sex'
