Matter of fact, without too much information - Rated
I bought this book for my 7 year old son who had been given some rather alarming stories at school about what sex was all about. I was concerned about it being too babish but the other books were a little too advanced for him. He read the book with his dad, and only one page focuses on what sex really is and refer to it more as a special cuddle. The rest is all very matter of fact and he related to it very well as I am heavily pregnant. The book cured the inquistive questions but explained things very well. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to dig too deep into the subject but wants to give a basic explanation to those difficult questions!

Open, honest and frank. - Rated
I bought this for my daughter, along with Babette Cole's "Mummy Laid An Egg!" This is very informative and reads like a text book with cartoon illustrations. The information is a little too advanced for my 5 year old, in my opinion, so I'll stick with Ms. Cole's version for now, but in a couple of years time this book will be great!

A little gem! - Rated
This book explains genes, conception, pregnancy and birth in a sensitive yet light-hearted manner. The cartoons and illustrations, which abound on every page, make it a really fun book to read, grabbing the attention of young children. Everything your child is likely to ask you about the facts of life is covered this book. A really excellent find which has helped me enormously with my kids.
