How Babies are Made
How Babies are Made by Andrew Schepp is a story about reproduction. I strongly disliked this story. It starts off with the reproduction of plants and moves on to animals and then humans as if the author is easing a child into the idea of human reproduction. The illustrations are cartoons, but still very graphic, showing animals in sexual positions, but when it comes to humans, they place the man and woman under the covers leaving the reader curious and giving them nothing to imagine. It is pushing appropriateness and is done very poorly. I would never suggest or use this book with children.

Okay, from your description this one doesn't sound so great. My question is have you found a preferred format for talking about this material? What would be your choice of a book to answer kids' many questions in this area?
