Editorial Review:
Product Description:
"An outstanding book. . . . Meets the needs of those in-between or curious kids who are not ready, developmentally or emotionally, for IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL." — BOOKLIST (starred review)
How does a baby begin? What makes a baby male or female? How is a baby born? Children have plenty of questions about reproduction and babies — and about sex and sexuality, too. IT'S SO AMAZING! provides the answers — with fun, accurate, comic-book-style artwork and a clear, lively text that reflects elementary-school children's interest in how things work, while giving them a healthy understanding of their bodies. Created by the author and illustrator of IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL, this forthright and funny book — newly updated for its fifth anniversary — covers similar territory but with an eye toward younger children's concerns.

- Great book on human development for 5-10 year oldsThis is a great book for 5-10 year olds to learn about human development and where babies come from. The book appropriately doesn't go into a lot of detail about sex but covers the basics on how a baby is made. The book is well illustrated and kid-friendly. My kids were especially fascinated by the illustrations of the physical changes in males and females from infancy to old age. If you are looking for a book with more details on sexual development for a child nearing or beginning puberty, then ... Read More

- perfect for what I wanted!I don't think I can praise this book highly enough for what I wantedat the time!! We moved to New Zealand when my daughter was almost 8. When she had her 8th birthdy she received a very 'sexy/adult' card from her friend that she was embarrassed enough to hide and when I saw it I thought 'OK we're growing up a little faster than I'd anticipated'. I'd remembered seeing what I thought looked like a good pre-teen sex education book in my local library before I left the UK but wasn't able to find it online. ... Read More

- A good enough parenting bookWhy it is a "good enough" book, not excellent? This book is good enough to provide great ideas/concepts to both me and my child to start the subject. It's not as formal and serious as majority books in the market regarding this topic, but it's good enough for me to initialize the conversation with my child. My child would learn more and easier, if he learn in a fun way.
Generally I think it is a good parenting-aid book, at least for me.

- It IS actually so amazing--I purchased several books for "the talk" with my 8 year old, and this was by far the best one. It might be too open-minded for some (keep in mind that I live in San Francisco)--but it's very in-depth and answers questions on all relevant subjects in a way that is appropriate for this age group. It makes the talk a whole lot easier--with a pictorial (drawings) explanations. I think you'll be happy with just this one book. I returned the others.

- Birds + Bees + Kids Pick! Hands down, this is my favorite book for kids age 5 to 10 about sexuality, love and relationships! Robie Harris tackles this subject with warmth and humor - she understands her audience and your kids will return to this book over and over.
Parents will appreciate her tone and the matter of fact way she handles "the facts." Be sure to read it yourself before settling in with the kiddos - while there probably isn't anything you didn't already know, you want to be sure it reflects your values. ... Read More
