Book Reviews of Where Did I Come From?

Book Review: "The Talk"...Sooner or Later..ya gotta have it...
Summary: 5 Stars

This book covers the basics without getting too scientific(We can save that part for when they're older). If your kids have a notion that "I was brought special delivery by the stork", by the end of this book they will know the truth. Starting out with the physical differences between men and women,there are explanations of the REAL names of parts of the anatomy, the act of making love, conception(sperm and eggs included), different stages of fetal development and the birth process.It is all covered.

As I mentioned above, it is probably important to read this book together(even if the child can already read), as you may want to interject your own thoughts and answer any questions along the way. For example, the book talks about the good feelings adults get during sex, and at that point I felt that it was important for my kids to know that this would be between a married couple who love each other very much. In a world where bad things can happen, I didn't want that open to any other interpertation! You may also want to read it on your own first, so you will know what to expect and be prepared for any forthcoming questions or giggling!

Sooner or later you gotta do it!. This book really is a big help in having your child informed early, and sooner is probably better. I found the younger the child the less embarrassing it was. It was also a wonderful bonding experience with each child I read it to. My book is an edition printed in 1973, and I haven't seen anything better since. I plan on passing it on to my kids, when they have little ones(Sigh...still waiting!)and I hope they find it as useful, and as good of an experience as I did.

Now...about Santa....we'll save that one for another day.....Laurie
