What readers like about this book: This story is about how kids of embarrassed parents bust some myths around ‘Where babies come from’. Most parents find it an awkward topic to talk about. But this book eases out all the bumps (pun unintended) and Babette Cole’s direct words coupled with funny illustrations take care of the rest.
Also hugely popular by the same author is Hair in Funny Places – a fun book book that talks about puberty. Babette Cole is known for her brilliant artwork and this book is an example of it.
