It's So Amazing!

Harris, R. (1999). It's so amazing. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.

This is an incredible book that will be extremely useful for parents. It details the wonders of life, human anatomy of both sexes, and provides detailed explanations that kids can understand. The author does a fabulous job at adding humor throughout the story, to make the reader feel comfortable. The bird and the bee hold side conversations that kids can relate to. The bee is not very comfortable with the topics that are being discussed, so the bird helps to clarify some of the confusing issues that kids might have about reproduction, body function, and they even talk about chromosomes. This book is most appropriate for ages seven and up. I can see it being used in a middle school health education class, or by parents to explain the miracles of life.
