Book Reviews of It's Not the Stork!: A Book About Girls, Boys, Babies, Bodies, Families and Friends (The Family Library)
Book Review: Good book for younger kids
Summary: 5 Stars
My six year old son had started asking a lot of questions about babies. He didn't just want to know how they grow inside a mommy, he wanted to know HOW it got there. This book did a good job of helping to explain a lot of very complicated stuff in a clear and simple way. We sat and read the book together the first time, and then he spent the next week or so reading it himself and asking lots of questions. Then he managed to explain the whole thing to his little brother (whether he wanted it explained to him or not!). There is an older version of this book, which is also good, but it had a little more mature information than I wanted a six year old to have (abortions, masterbation, etc.) Overall, a very good book. I will get the older version of this book in the next year or so. This was a good intro to sex education, though.

Summary of It's Not the Stork!: A Book About Girls, Boys, Babies, Bodies, Families and Friends (The Family Library)
From the expert team behind IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL and IT'S SO AMAZING! comes a book for younger children about their bodies - a resource that parents, teachers, librarians, health care providers, and clergy can use with ease and confidence.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.
