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

Book Review: A Book with an AGENDA
Summary: 3 Stars

Well, it is an okay book, if you tear out pages 31 & 32 (which explain and illustrate homosexual relationships). These two pages are completely inappropriate and unnecessary. Also, be forewarned that on page 42, the writer states that abortion is just a "medical way to end a pregnancy". She makes it sound like a safe, natural and healthy alternative to family planning. It is so obvious that the writer is pushing her liberal "agenda" on our innocent children. What a shame. If you do not share her personal views, stay away from this book.

I would also like to add that this is way too much information for a child to handle all at once. Sensitive and controversial topics such as homosexuality, abortion, HIV, adoption, intercourse, masturbation, etc. should be presented to children at a MUCH slower pace and at age-appropriate times. This book just throws it all in there, in a light-hearted way. These issues need to be discussed one thing at a time. Do not just give this book to your kids and walk away. Talk to them!
