It's So Amazing!: A Book about Eggs, Sperm, Birth, Babies, and Families (Family Library)

This book definitely helped my child after having the sex talk at school. They came home with more questions so this helped and was age appropriate

Bought for a 10 and a half year old. Would say to parents read it yourself first to make sure you're comfortable with the level of information. I found it very good, informative without too much heavy detail. I would say not younger than tweens.

This book was just what I wanted to help me explain the birds and the bees to a very curious 7 year old.It had big friendly comic book pictures and explains everything including how male and female bodies change, periods, conception, sex, puberty, love and pregnancy in just the right tone as to be accurate and informative but not scary and with emphasis on appropriate and non-appropriate behaviour regarding bodies.If you are considering sitting down with your child to discuss this subject I couldn't recommend this book highly enough as an aid to make the conversation easier both to explain and understand.

I bought this book for My 9years old son Who started to ask questions about sexuality and where children come from so I decided to get it and I’m pleased with this book because explains as child like possible. I’m happy that I got him this and if he has any questions out of this book I talk to him and if he says is too embarrassed to talk about it I stop then.At first he just looked at it but wasn’t reading but we made the time and day to read chapter by chapter which works great.

This is great, I've spent so long looking for an age-appropriate sex education book for my 7 and 9 year old boys. This is perfect, so many are aimed at teenagers or really little kids. This is just right, enough factual details for their age and enough humour to go with their inevitable giggles :)

Any parent who wants to introduce a conversation on sexuality responsibly -- and that should be all parents -- needs this book. With bright happy illustrations, solid facts, and good humour, this book answers childrens' questions warmly and well. No shame, no fear, no secrets.

Bought for my 10 year old son, who didn't understand how his dad was involved in the process of making him! He was asking a lot of questions, so decided to order this book. Great book with cartoon pictures, which makes it more fun and less serious! He handled the book well.

I bought this book years ago for my children and found it very helpful in that it covered the subject matter in a clear, easy to understand way for them.Using the cartoon birds was also very helpful, especially when covering the subject of appropriate/not appropriate affection and touching, in a manner that would not confuse or frighten them.Some years ago I loaned the book to someone who did not return it, so have now purchased it again for my granddaughter's Mum to use it with her and her siblings. I would definitely recommend this book to parents to use with their children.

Good quality

My 5 year old had more questions than "Amazing you" could answer. I went with my gut on this book and it didn't disappoint. The material also allowed my kids to ask more thoughtful questions which the book then did a great job of answering. My 7 and 5 year old keep wanting me to read this! Some of the themes in the book they're not asking questions about and I'll have it handy for when they do.

A perfect book to teach children about sexual education in the most cordial manner

Este libro está genial para hablarle a tus hijos de temas que a lo mejor te costaría afrontar sin guión. Es completo y me encantó compartirlo con mi hija de 7 años. Muy muy recomendable

I am a mental health counselor and I work with children, teens and families. I love this series of books!!! I have bought so many copies and lent/given them out to friends and clients. Talking to children about bodies, sex and sexuality can be intimidating. Most parents aren't really sure where to start or when to start talking about these issues. Harris's series of age appropriate books takes the guess work out of family sex education.It is extremely important to educate your children on topics of healthy sexuality, bodies and families. Believe it or not, you are probably more nervous about talking to your children about sex than they are. They can handle the truth. Seriously. Just follow along with the book and take a matter of fact sort of attitude when reading together. Allow children to ask questions and do your best to give accurate answers. Children will learn that its ok to have questions and to talk to their parents about these issues.Favorite things about the series:1. Age appropriate books allow parents to start educating their children early! I have seen many families try to provide too little information too late. By the time a child is reaching puberty, they have likely heard inaccurate information about sex from media or other children at school. Adolescents are also much more likely to get embarrassed when their parents try to talk with them about these issues. 4 year olds, and even 10 year olds are unlikely to be embarrassed. They will follow along with the fun cartoons and simple straight forward text and pictures.I have found that older children have also benefited from being exposed to these books.It's a little more difficult with older children who express embarrassment. Try to stay calm and matter of fact to make them more comfortable. I like to ask older children what they already know and then use to book as a resource to fill in gaps of knowledge.2. The books are inclusive and talk about important topics such as love, intimacy and different types of families. One of the major topics that families miss when sex educating their children is the emotional aspect of sex. These books allow the opportunity for parents to talk about the emotional implications of engaging in sexual acts and creating a family. This opens up opportunities to talk to children about your family's beliefs and values surrounding sexual relationships.3. These books talk about safety and sexual assault "good touches and bad touches". One of the important reasons for teaching young children accurate information is to protect them. Children who know proper names for genitalia and have been taught healthy sexuality are more equipped to report sexual assault. I always remember a story from when I was working in a residential treatment center for children. One young girl had reported that her uncle touched her "pussycat". It took a long time for anyone to figure out that she had been sexually assaulted because of the use of a euphemism. Children should not be ashamed of their bodies. Teach proper sexual anatomy words to young children along with head, shoulders, nose and feet. They won't be embarrassed, but if you are, you can explain to them that talking about their private areas when in public is socially inappropriate. I always explain to young children that their private parts are anything that is covered up when they put on a bathing suit. That seems to be simple enough.I strongly encourage parents and caregivers to check out this series!
