(4) K-3 Willy the sperm "...wasn't very good at math. But he was VERY good at swimming." This breezy, innovative cartoon explanation of conception is more humorous than anatomically precise: e.g., the baby grows in the "tummy" not the womb, but readers will root for Willy as he races his 300 million friends to the egg.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
