This book is sadly out of print, but if you can find it, you must get it for your child. It was the book I had as a youngster, and happily, I found it for my six year old daughter to explain the mysteries of conception, childbirth, the difference between baby boys, baby girls, boys, girls, men and women.

The book is illustrated in a beautiful painterly style. I remember looking at the images for a long time as a young girl. They are graphic, but not crude. They are not comical, or cartoonish, as in some "birds and bees" books. There is a picture of a nude man, and then a picture of a nude woman. There is a picture of a pregnant woman, "cut away" so you can see the baby inside. There is also a picture of a woman giving birth, but not in a scary way, but in a loving way. Also, a woman nursing a baby.

Discussions of intercourse are limited to things like, the man getting close to the woman and putting his (male organ) inside her v--. There is not a graphic explanation of sex. Girls bodies are explained as "not working as women's bodies work".

This is a good beginning book for children ages 5-8. Gives all the basic information and leaves plenty of room for further parental discussion.

I bought this book for my children, who are now in their 40s and was so glad to find it again for my granddaughters. Thank You!

We actually found this book in a used bookstore. I am so glad to have found it. My girls, 4 and 2, keep asking me how the baby got into my belly, and how it looks now and so on. THis book goes into all of it, and actually shows a picture of the baby being born. They also ask me how the baby is going to come out. This book is great.

This is the most artful, beautiful and straight forward book I have found for helping my children understand the miracle of conception and birth. It is simple and gorgeous! By this book!
