Mommy Laid an Egg Or Where Do Babies Come From
Author: Babette Cole
In this hilarious twist on one of the most difficult discussions in a child's development, award-winning author Cole illustrates the one question all children are bound to ask--where do babies come from? Offbeat illustrations are accompanied by a text that is short, simple, and anything but predictable. Full color.

Helpful Score: 3
I felt this was a highly inappropriate book. I requested it to share with my 9 year old. She will never see it! In fact, I have hidden it in a drawer until I can get rid of it. It shows cartoon characters in sexual positions. They are smiling clowns and Daddy sitting behind Mommy on a bouncy ball. Those are just two of the drawings. They are intended to show "how mommy and daddy fit together."

I am a high school teacher who openly discusses STDs and pregnancy with my students. I wouldn't even share this book with them. They do not need illustrations about ways to have sex.

I was hoping for a factual, but not explicit, book but was disappointed to find a book of this nature had been published. I wish I would have read some of the Amazon reviews. I am certainly relieved I did not purchase this book.
