Illustrated by
Lynne Cravath.
For curious preschoolers, Amazing You! explains and names internal and external sex organs without mentioning sexual relations. Psychiatrist Saltz offers further advice to parents in her (strongly opinionated) author's note. The illustrations and big, bold typeface are friendly and inviting; cartoon-style pictures show relaxed bodies and smiling sperm and egg. The brief text and simple diagrams provide clear, sound information.
