Great book on human development for 5-10 year olds:
This is a great book for 5-10 year olds to learn about human development and where babies come from. The book appropriately doesn't go into a lot of detail about sex but covers the basics on how a baby is made. The book is well illustrated and kid-friendly. My kids were especially fascinated by the illustrations of the physical changes in males and females from infancy to old age. If you are looking for a book with more details on sexual development for a child nearing or beginning puberty, then check out... more info
perfect for what I wanted!:
I don't think I can praise this book highly enough for what I wantedat the time!! We moved to New Zealand when my daughter was almost 8. When she had her 8th birthdy she received a very 'sexy/adult' card from her friend that she was embarrassed enough to hide and when I saw it I thought 'OK we're growing up a little faster than I'd anticipated'.

A good enough parenting book:
Why it is a "good enough" book, not excellent? This book is good enough to provide great ideas/concepts to both me and my child to start the subject. It's not as formal and serious as majority books in the market regarding this topic, but it's good enough for me to initialize the conversation with my child. My child would learn more and easier, if he learn in a fun way. Generally I think it is a good parenting-aid book, at least for me.
It IS actually so amazing--:
I purchased several books for "the talk" with my 8 year old, and this was by far the best one. It might be too open-minded for some (keep in mind that I live in San Francisco)--but it's very in-depth and answers questions on all relevant subjects in a way that is appropriate for this age group. It makes the talk a whole lot easier--with a pictorial (drawings) explanations. I think you'll be happy with just this one book. I returned the others.
