Books about babies/sex/body differences for young child?

[dharmama]

Does anyone have a book recomendation about sex/pregnancy that they really love? I'm looking for something that is age-appropriate but accurate.

My DD is 3.5 and up until now has been satisfied with "the papa plants a seed in the mama" as to how babies are made. This week she started asking "exactly *how* does the papa plant the seed in the mama"???

I'm thinking there must be some great books out there by people who have already given this a lot of thought! Any suggestions?

Thanks!

This is the one that we have:
http://www.amazon.com/Made-Love-Kate...6277953&sr=1-1

I did extensive searching to find the right book for us. All the others I came across seemed condescending, used baby talk or were blatantly incorrect.
I like this book very much because it uses the proper words for things, is simple to understand and sensitive as well.

My one niggle is that it refers to the baby being in the "tummy" which bugs me but I am anal about stuff like that. Ugh, maybe "anal" isn't the right word to use on a thread about sex...

I agree with the sugggestion of Made With Love, I have it for my 3 year old and she likes it and I like it.

Thanks. I'll check out those two books.

We used "It's So Amazing!" (written by the same authors as the stork book mentioned above) to prep DS (4yo at the time) before DD's birth and really liked it. We keep it on DS's bookshelf and he asks to re-read it frequently.

We also like "It's So Amazing!" and bought it during the past year for our 4 y/o. It gives more complete/open information than "It's Not the Stork" and I felt like it continue to be useful to us as he gets older.

We read "It's Not the Stork" too. My son was 4.5.

I just bought 2

I second "its not the stork". Also bought: "where did I come from".

My DD is 7 - we'll see how it goes. . . .

yeah, i ordered both, thinking that one would be more suitable for DS, who was 2.75, and was very disappointed how similar they are, almost identical.
