So That'S How I Was Born

Summary: Not really for young children
Review: I don't recommend it for young children. I don't really recommend it at all. The graphics are "70s-ish" and the storyline is boring for a child. There's a lot of talk about sex and love and whether or not the mommy and daddy like sex. The books contains mild drawings of a mommy with a baby growing in her belly. It's not a controversial book, I just didn't care for it - I think the cartoon on the cover led me to believe it was appropriate for young children. My daughter never wants to read it and frankly, neither do I.

Summary: Explains how a baby is concieved and born.. ages 7+
Review: I recieved this book when I was 8. My mom had no clue how to tell me the birds and the bees. I opened the book and read it. I was neither embarrassed by the contents or shocked. I do suggest reading it before your child, and going over the book with them. I don't think toddlers or preschoolers would be ready for this book. As it does describe the sexual organs and how it takes a mommy and a daddy to make a baby. It's not a gory porn book, nor does it go into explict detail. It just gives the facts and is told how a child could handle it.

Summary: Good for the first talk
Review: I used this book to help explain to my 8-year-old how babies are born. The pictures are drawn in color, and easy for children to understand. The words are also easy to understand. The book does not go into details about menstruation. It basically says that when a mommy and a daddy love each other, they have a special hug (which is described, in the basic mechanics) and that this hug is how they make a baby. They also show how the baby grows inside of the mommy. It is good for giving the basic background and openning the lines of communication. I plan to use it with my other two children, when they are about 8.

Summary: COMPLETELY WRONG!
Review: This pathetic and inaccurate myth of fluid exchange has been prevalent in our society for far too long! Anyone with half a brain should be aware that it is in fact not we who create babies but GOD! And that is what children need to be learning - not these half-cocked, wild theories of fleshy intercourse. Not only are these theories disturbing and misguided, but unsanitary to say the least.

May god have mercy on your soul.
