Title: First Comes Love : All About The Birds And Bees - And Alligators, Possums, And People, Too. by Jennifer Davis, Clare Mackie ISBN: 0-7611-2244-3 Publisher: Workman Publishing Pub. Date: 01 May, 2001 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $10.95 |

Summary: all ages, all stages
Comment: The natural science lessons in this enjoyable little book are evident in the slightly silly characters and droll rhymes. For both the young child and the adult reading it aloud, this could be a delightful "learning about the birds and bees" experience. The text can be easily simplified or expanded according to the listener's interest and ability. This book would be fun to give to an anniversary couple, to new parents, or to a "big sister or big brother". This book made my grandchild smile. Me too.

Summary: very basic intro to love and reproduction; adorable pictures
Comment: This is a great book for a very basic introduction to love and reproduction for a young child around 4 years old. The main text of the story is cute and rhyming with no great detail about reproduction, just the words "sperm" and "eggs" without the hows of it. The pictures and words contain entertaining animal facts about how various fish, birds, and mammals court and raise their young. However, in small print on the bottom of each page are a couple of sentences containing a more in-depth explanation of reproduction, naming the body parts and how they fit together, so you can just read the rhyming cute part for a very young child and add the specifics as you choose for an older child. The illustrations are very cute and whimsical and not at all realistic; for example, baby seahorses in bonnets in a carriage and a crab as a knight in armor. There are no diagrams of actual anatomy. If you are looking for a book illustrating the male and female anatomy you will need to find a different book. This is really just a cute introduction to love and mating, and you will need other books to explain the specifics.

Summary: My 5 year old loves this book!
Comment: The whole book is written in funny rhymes. Each page gives a little short factoid about the mating behavior of many different animal species. The part on humans is only about two short pages, but it does give a brief overview of "the birds and the bees" in a humorous but straightforward way without going into great detail. You will have to fill in the blanks for your child. My daughter thinks this is a great book, and I agree. The illustrations are hilarious! However, if you are looking for a book that goes into more detail about human reproduction, I recommend the classic, "Where did I come from?"
