Illustrated by
Carol Thompson.
Inviting cartoons illustrate a young girl's month-by-month account of her mother's pregnancy, including a frank answer to "How do Dad's sperm and your egg get together?" Accessible vivid descriptions, such as when the girl compares the embryo's size to her "bottom front tooth," and watercolor images of the baby in utero give a clear picture of gestation and birth.
