What This Book Is About
In this funny book, the mum and dad in the story think of creative ways to explain how babies get to their families even though the book’s terms are not accurate. The mum says that babies could be grown from seeds or are made of sugar and spice. On the other hand, the dad says that babies are hand-delivered by dinosaurs.
In a twist of events, it’s the kids telling the adults how babies are made!
Here’s what to expect in this book:
- Simple funny illustrations that are stick figures that a child would draw
- Body parts like tubes and holes but does not say penis or vagina.
- An explanation of sexual intercourse how babies are made not using correct terms but can start conversations
Reflection and Comments
This is a fun engaging resource for parents who want to start talking to their kids about sex and it can help lighten the tone and lay the groundwork for ongoing conversations.
