This is my new favorite "Where do babies come from?" book. I think Sophie Blackall does everything right here. It's funny, but it also gets to the truth. It's kid-friendly. It's beautiful. It has a fun plot, so it's an honest-to-goodness story, and it also has a section in the back with some nitty-gritty FAQs (What about kids who are adopted? What about kids with two moms or two dads?).

Bravo, Ms. Blackall! ( )

When our young kid gets told a new baby is coming, they wonder how do you get a new baby. This book explores the answer various people give until they get to the truth. This is a fun, tongue-in-cheek story, and I can see it being used for many seasons to come. One of the best things is that it’s truthful and explores how colloquialisms can be confusing to children.

OK, kind of meh. The pictures, are cute though and would apeal to a younger child, I think. ( )

This is a delightful picture book of a child trying to understand where the baby is coming from. Content Considerations: lgbtq- the author's note at the end of the book addresses where babies come from for same sex couples. ( )

A kid's parents reveal the happy news that the family will be getting a new baby, but the kid is left wondering...from where? They ask the classic "where do babies come from?" question of a teenager, a teacher, the mailman, and Grandpa, before getting the real answer from Mom and Dad. (Everyone was a little bit right - babies do come from a seed and an egg and the hospital - except Grandpa. Storks are not involved.) The perfect book to explain where babies come from - gentle, honest, and funny.
