Format:Hardcover
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.

I thought my 7 year old was ready for this book as she has an enquiring mind and I also felt that SHE was ready for the information. I would advise reading it yourself first so that you can be prepared for the bit about the "special cuddle" which needed a bit of discussion time and promoted the response "Dad, did that to you!" Once you've explained that bit... the rest is a doddle!... The book explains very well and I thought that the pictures where easy to understand and follow. We really enjoyed it. Will re-visit it again in a little while. Friends have commented that they thought that she was too young for this information, the book gives it the issues an accurate framework using the correct terminology and we found it fun too! Great book for starters and the price is excellent!How Did I Begin?

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!

This book was a little advanced for my five year old daughter. Still good, so is being kept for another day.

HOW DID I BEGIN?
Really helpful aid to talk about "the facts" with children in a way that they understand.

Matter of fact, without too much information
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. Read more
