--Kirkus Reviews
This book is suitable for young children who are just beginning
to ask the question, "Where do babies come from?" ... [A] good
first book to recommend to parents.
--School Library Journal Correct terminology is used for body
parts, but there's nothing clinical about the down-to-earth
writing... Creating a cheerful, easygoing tone on every double-page
spread, the digital line-and-wash illustrations portray a biracial
family within a diverse community. A helpful book for presenting
information and opening discussions with young children who are
curious about pregnancy and birth.
--Booklist Westcott's chummy, affectionate multicultural cast will
once again successfully open parent/child discussion on building a
family -- whatever the family.
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books In this introduction
to pregnancy that is as charming as it is anatomically-correct, the
story of an expectant family is interwoven with playful, cutaway
drawings of the growing fetus -- first the size of an apple seed,
then a peach, then finally a sweet, swaddled bundle named Jake.
