All the Heffley's trapped in a minivan for miles and miles... it spells disaster. And when Greg has to battle petrol-station bathrooms, crazed seagulls, a fender bender and a runaway pig, it seems he was right to be worried. This is one adventure the Heffleys won't forget! Reluctant and avid readers of 7+ can't get enough of Greg and the disasters that follow him around!

Bogen er en 2 i 1 bog, som i billedbogsform leverer en god fortælling til både børn og voksne, mens den i et fyldigt efterskrift leverer videnskabeligt baserede oplysninger om børns seksuelle udvikling. Bogen er et opråb, da vi som samfund ifølge "Styrelsen for Undervisning og Kvalitet" og ifølge "Amnesty" ikke giver den nødvendige plads til børns nysgerrighed i forhold til krop og seksualitet. Billedbogs-delen henvender sig primært til mindre børn og børn i indskolingen i form af en spændende historie, som gør udforskningen af seksualitet til noget naturligt. Pigen Elba spørger sin far: "Far vil du ikke nok nusse min tissekone?" Dette spørgsmål bliver starten på en længere historie, hvor Elba får kigget i en anatomibog sammen med sine forældre, der forklarer om både drenges og pigers kønsorganer. Elba leger også med andre børn i børnehaven, hvor de udforsker sig selv og hinanden, og finder ud af, at det kilder og føles rart at blive stimuleret på sine kønsorganer. Pædagogen Anton er både accepterende, vejledende og korrigerende i forhold til børnenes indbyrdes lege, og viser dem, at det ikke er farligt, selvom nogen har overtrådt en andens grænser. Det handler bare om at få snakket om det, på samme måde, som var det en konflikt i sandkassen. Børn overtræder jævnligt hinandens grænser, og har derfor brug for voksenhjælp. I efterskriftet, som er rettet mod den mere modne læser, leveres der videnskabeligt baserede oplysninger om børns seksuelle udvikling. Her argumenteres der for, at børns mulighed for gradvist at udvikle en medfødt spirende seksualitet har betydning for, hvorvidt der udvikles en sund og velfungerende personlighed, som evner både nærvær, intimitet og respekt. Som nævnt, er der i den proces - som i alle andre sammenhænge med børn - behov for, at voksne regulerer og hjælper børn på vej i forhold til at være lydhøre overfor hinanden og samfundets normer. Dertil nævnes det, at denne læring om egen krop sammen med en fortrolighed i forhold til at tale om seksualitet, også kan være præventiv i forhold til seksuelle overgreb. Endelig skal det nævnes, at bogen vil være egnet som læse-let læsning for lidt større børn, der gradvist også vil kunne trække mere forståelse ud af bogens anatomiske illustrationer og ud af efterskriftet til voksne. Det er nemmere at skabe sunde og velfungerende børn, end at afhjælpe, når de bliver voksne. Findes også som lyd- og eBog. eBog: ISBN: 978-87-93824-02-7 Lydbog: ISBN: 978-87-93824-01-0
