It's So Amazing

Harris, R. (1999).    It’s so amazing.  Boston, MA:  Candlewick Press.

This informational text addresses the topic of reproduction.  Through different forms of writing, from comic looking pages, to text boxes,  Harris explains reproduction from beginning to end, including everything in between.  The information is reliable and presented frankly in words and correctly in drawings.  Harris does a good job of being straight forward without being too silly or awkward for a topic that can be awkward for parents to discuss with their children.  This book lends itself to be used as a great tool for parents to use when discussing different topics of reproduction, be it sex or puberty or a new baby.  The illustrations are child friendly but don't leave anything out.
