It's So Amazing! A Book About Eggs, Sperm, Birth, Babies, and Families by Robie H. Harris and Illustrated by Michael Emberley


Plot Summary:

It's So Amazing! A Book About Eggs, Sperm, Birth, Babies, and Families by Robie H. Harris and Illustrated by Michael Emberley. This is a book about the human body. The detailed graphics and comic book style make it easy to explain small story lines about the human body. Each chapter is a plethora of information about the birds and the bees. The graphic on the difference between male and female bodies is insightful and eduactional. Chapter 4 depicts the aging process from infancy to becoming elderly. It is so easy to use as a lesson if children have questions about their bodies or the bodies of the opposite sex or even the body of the mommy or the daddy.

Impression about the book:

The book is so well written. It is easy for a child to comprehend what is going to happen to their bodies as they get older.

Reviews / Reviews Excerpts:

I liked this book so much; it is now part of my daughter’s repertoire of books. The graphics and the explanations are so elementary that it almost makes it a school lesson rather than a suppression of the book due to its content.

Suggestions for library use:

Librarians can use this book when a patron is inquiring about sexuality and changes in their body for young children.
