 The Best November 20, 2008
My parents gave me this book and the next in the series "What's Happening to Me?" when I was a young girl (10-ish) and had begun asking questions. While I don't think that it is ever an easy conversation for parents and children, this book WITHOUT A DOUBT made it alot easier! I actually remember thinking that if this was how I was made, I was glad I didn't have to learn that directly from my parents mouths!! My questions were absolutely answered. Answered honestly. As I look back I remember that the best part was that it was written in the context of sex being about love. I think that that was the most resounding thing about it. I want my children to see that in these books, and not the clinical definition which never seems to include that. I am buying these for my sons and I have nothing but praise for how they are written and how they make it easier to begin "the conversation'!!
Every parent's dream November 1, 2008
Where did I come from? The question every child asks and every parent feels awkward in answering. Well, that problem is solved once you obtain this gem of a book with hilarious and accurate illustrations. It is just as wonderful now as it was in the 1970's when it was first published, and I read it to my children. Soon I will be reading it to my small grandchildren. Even parents love this book written by the now famous Peter Mayle. Snap it up while it is still in print!
Where Did I Come From October 28, 2008
When my children (now 34 &32) were beginning to ask the "questions" I purchased many books on the subject. This was by far the best. I have loaned my copies of "Where Did I Come From" and "What's Happening To Me" to many people across the area, and all have found them informative, helpful, and delightful. This one has disapeared from our home library, so I am replacing it now with a copy for my grandson, so that it will be here when he asks the "questions". A must have for all parents!
passing it on down September 22, 2008
This book did a perfect job for me when I was a boy. And I'm buying it to hand to my sons. Those who say it was too graphic are simply WAY too uptight. It is tasteful and honest. It did the job for me that my parents couldn't do.
 Way too much sexual detail! September 14, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
There is NO WAY my kids need to know how sex feels in a play by play description. All I wanted was a book that would talk about what sex was in a factual manner. This was like reading soft porn with cartoon graphics aimed at kids! At ages 4 and 7, this is beyond their years for a need to know. I am glad I read it at the book store before buying it. I couldn't believe all the great reviews it had. Maybe for a 10 year old (or older) but not for young kids IMO.
