What This Book Is About
- Where do babies come from?
- How are they made?
- How are they born?
- What do they need?
- How do they grow?
It covers a lot of topics that can sometimes be difficult to answer especially with kids of this age. It busts common myths people tell kids, like how storks don’t really deliver babies to parents’ doorsteps. Every single question is answered in a truthfully, but using language that is age-appropriate.
Reflection and Comments
Because this is a lift-the-flap book, it allows kids to be engaged with conversations that their parents might want to have about the topics involved. The fact that the answers are hidden beneath each flap makes reading this book an exciting activity.
This book also talks about sex and childbirth by normalising the topic. It does this by talking about animals — amphibians, birds, fish, insects, and mammals — and how they have their babies. With this approach, kids realise that sex and childbirth are normal and have always been part of nature.
