Childrens
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.
