3.0 out of 5 stars right down to business!, Oct 17 2002
By A Customer
My first reaction after reading "Where did I come from" was, wow! Am I ready to read this to my ten year old daughter? ! But as time went on I sort of calmed down from the initial shock of the reality!
The book clearly explains the human reproduction and prenatal development. I feel that it is an appropriate book for my ten year old. It introduces to proper names for the male and female genitals and defines the sexual act. I think I'm going to read this book to my daughter, even though I do feel embarrassed! And I do recommend this book to other parents who want to teach their children about facts of life!

4.0 out of 5 stars Following my Mother's example 25 years later. . ., Jul 10 2004
By A Customer
I doesn't seem like it, but just over 25 years ago, my mother sat me down with this book and we went through it. She was a teacher and very much loved books so we had our first talk about sex with the assistance of this one. Now, my daughter is 6 years old and asking questions. Although, I don't discourage her from asking, and I don't shy away from the questions, I'm not sure just how much detail I should get into with her at this age. So this book has come to my mind. I will purchase it and sit down with my daughter as my mother sat down with me. It's got cartoon pictures in it that don't make it quite so uncomfortable to discuss. And I prefer to give her the facts rather than for her get made up stories from other children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where did I come from?, Jul 4 2004
My mother read this book to me when I was about 5 years old. It answered most of my questions in a straight forward way. To those who complained about the book being too grafic it is only grafic enough to get the message across. I would much rather deal with a small bit of graphicness than to have my child be confused. Now that I am a mother myself I plan on buying this to help teach my daughter when the time comes. If you want to teach your children where babies really do come from and want the real deal, not some fairy tale, buy this book.
