Illustrated by
Maxie Chambliss.
This is a clear, straightforward exploration of a topic that holds great interest for young children. With simple, age-appropriate illustrations, the book explains that babies begin as one tiny cell and grow inside the mommy's uterus, eventually coming out "a special opening in her body." The direct descriptions should answer many questions. A note to parents is appended.
