"In their previous landmark volumes . . . Harris and Emberley established themselves as the purveyors of reader-friendly, straightforward information on human sexuality for readers as young as seven. Here they successfully tackle the big questions . . . for even younger kids." — The Horn Book (starred review) Young children are curious about almost everything, especially their bodies. And young children are not afraid to ask questions. What makes me a girl? What makes me a boy? Why are some parts of girls' and boys' bodies the same and why are some parts different? How was I made? Where do babies come from? Is it true that a stork brings babies to mommies and daddies? It's Not the Stork! helps answer these endless and perfectly normal questions that preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary school children ask about how they began. Through lively, comfortable language and sensitive, engaging artwork, Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley address readers in a reassuring way, mindful of a child's healthy desire for straightforward information. Two irresistible cartoon characters, a curious bird and a squeamish bee, provide comic relief and give voice to the full range of emotions and reactions children may experience while learning about their amazing bodies. Vetted and approved by science, health, and child development experts, the information is up-to-date, age-appropriate, and scientifically accurate, and always aimed at helping kids feel proud, knowledgeable, and comfortable about their own bodies, about how they were born, and about the family they are part of. Back matter includes an index. Review: Child friendly and comprehensive - Excellent! Full page color pictures. Very useful for talking about with children. The concepts covered include differences between boys, girls, men and women. How children are made. Appropriate and inappropriate touch. Useful for young children and even older ones who are just beginning to get curious. It's important to speak of these things within the family than from learning it from equally perplexed friends or from the internet. Will need to get next set of books however to cover puberty and the changes that come with it. Review: Must have for all moms - Wish I had come across this a lot sooner. Talks about the subject in a very sensitive, responsible, easy to understand manner. Simplifies the language for parent and child.

Very good
Children assume bizzare things when they get to hear from friends and watch clips online. It is remarkable how the author explains ideas which would otherwise put the person in a rather uncomfortable state. Highly recommended.

A wonderful, friendly
A wonderful, friendly, approachable way to teach your young child what they need to know about reproduction, families, and sexual safety (good touch/bad touch). It holds off from going into too much detail about puberty and other adolescent issues.

Must-have for 4-6 years old
Must-buy for parent of every 4-year old. Or 5 or 6. Covers a wide variety of topics from differences between girls and boys, how babies are born, good touch and bad touch. Makes discussing these topics with kids easy and cool.

... home from school with weird ideas and thinking herself bad and guilty
I bought this for my granddaughter---she came home from school with weird ideas and thinking herself bad and guilty. I bought the book and we read it together, and I have to say the facts were presented so simply and non-coyly, that she felt no embarrassment at all. There are diagrams and everything spelt out. The proper words are used for the genitals and she felt no sense of shame at all.I strongly recommend this book for children up to and beyond the tweens. This is a one of its kind book. Grab a copy for young folks in your families.

Two mommies... Make sure you read completely before showing to your kids!
This book talks about two daddies and two mommies. It also shows way too much detail in illustrations. Our young kids don't need to read in a book that some kids have two mommies and that's totally great!

Perfect!
A great book many answers and explanations but completely adapted to thé class age. Nothing that would make me or my kids inconfortable. Funny without being silly. A great way to talk about the making baby things that overcome my expectations !!

I liked it, child didn't
Educational, objective. Comprehensive. 4 stars because my kid doesn't like it, finds it boring and the topic disgusting, so we haven't ever read the whole thing even after over a year.
