This entertaining book covers the basics of human reproduction from conception to birth and early growth. Simple, clear text by an expert writer for the very young addresses the child reader directly and encourages him or her to discuss the subject with their parents in particular. The delightful illustrations by a highly successful illustrator provide many further opportunities for discussion between adult and child readers. A topic web for teachers and carers suggests ways to use the book for activities across the curriculum. The book is completed by a glossary, an index and a list of further resources that will help extend children's learning.
