Synopsis

Mum and Dad decide it's time to tell their children the facts of life. But is it? Do they really dare? Or worst of all do they even know them? All sorts of hilarious possibilities are discussed: babies come from seeds. You can find them under stones. You grow them in flower pots. You can squeeze them from tubes like toothpaste. That is until the children decide it's time to put the record straight and that's where the real fun begins.

About this title

Review:

Have you ever wondered how much your children know about human reproduction but are afraid to ask? Then this is the book for you. Written and illustrated by the award-winning Babette Cole it is, according to the Bookseller: "Funny, factual and frank...a superb book...the ideal ice-breaker for parents."

Mum and Dad decide that it is high time to tell their children about the facts of life, and put forward theories about gingerbread, growing seeds in the greenhouse, being squidged out of tubes and laying eggs. However, the children have clearer ideas about seeds, tubes and eggs and put their parents right. (Ages 6 and up) --Susan Naylor
