Children on a primary school trip to Sainsbury's were given a book containing pictures of sex positions as a going home gift.
The book, How To Change The World For A Fiver, was mistakenly given to pupils, aged eight and nine, during a visit to the supermarket in Haverhill, Suffolk.
The 42 children, from Burton End primary, were surprised to read advice such as - have a bath with a friend to: "Save water. Have fun. Just get out before everything becomes wrinkled."
Other inappropriate suggestions in the £5 book include encouraging readers to shave in intimate places, streak, talk to strangers and hand out your phone number to five people on the street.
The blunder came to light only when a father heard his daughter giggling with friends as they flicked through the pages, reports the Daily Mail.
Engineer Andrew Dodd, 37, whose daughter Laura is eight, said: "I was furious. It was extremely inappropriate and irresponsible to give to children.
"The teachers were as horrified as we were when they saw it. Laura thought it was funny but thankfully she didn't really understand it."
A Sainsbury's spokesman admitted: "This was a well-intentioned mistake. It is a very nice book about how to make the world a better place but it is not targeted at children.
"The cover looks like a kid's book. This was a mix-up and we would like to apologise for any distress caused. It certainly won't happen again."
