5 out of 5 stars passing it on down   September 22, 2008
This book did a perfect job for me when I was a boy. And I'm buying it to hand to my sons. Those who say it was too graphic are simply WAY too uptight. It is tasteful and honest. It did the job for me that my parents couldn't do.


1 out of 5 stars Way too much sexual detail!   September 14, 2008
There is NO WAY my kids need to know how sex feels in a play by play description. All I wanted was a book that would talk about what sex was in a factual manner. This was like reading soft porn with cartoon graphics aimed at kids! At ages 4 and 7, this is beyond their years for a need to know. I am glad I read it at the book store before buying it. I couldn't believe all the great reviews it had. Maybe for a 10 year old (or older) but not for young kids IMO.


5 out of 5 stars Worked for me!   September 6, 2008
My parents gave me this book when I was little and it was very informative, but not too detailed. Just right for a grade school child.
I know have my own children and I'm so relieved to find this book again. My son has started to ask some questions and this book was great.



5 out of 5 stars great tool   August 8, 2008
this book is an excellent tool for helping kids understand the "facts of life". reading with the kids and explaining as you go really helps them to understand the concepts and participate in the conversation.


5 out of 5 stars Classic for small children   July 4, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is a classic for explaining the birds and the bees to small kids. It's illustrated in a cartoony, friendly style and explains sex in a way that's comprehensible from a child's point of view. I don't think it crosses the line of what an average parent would consider "too much information".

The couple depicted are slightly chubby and middle-aged, quite the stereotype of a mummy and daddy. On one page they are standing together nude and smiling at the reader. On the page that explains sexual intercourse, they're under the blankets, so don't worry about kids seeing too much. Sex is explained as being like "skipping rope" - it feels good but you get too tired to do it forever! Sounds funny from an adult's perspective but I guess it's a good way to explain to a small child why grown-ups like it.

The book also explains fertilization down at the cellular level (the endpapers feature a cartoon egg being presented with a rose by a sperm) and pregnancy and childbirth in brief.

I read the book around age 5 or 6. My parents didn't want to have to explain this stuff face-to-face and I was an early reader =)
