I used to read this to Big Bee when she was only 4, but she had clean forgotten everything. The pages and words for a comprehensive sex education are excellent for little kids from 3 years old, complete with fun pop-up graphics (and some are very explicit indeed!) as well as flaps within the book.
Little Bee had a blast fiddling with these pop up pages, and Big Bee comprehended my simple explanation from the book. However, I must reinforce that it was pure treasure to glimpse that mixture of fascination and disgust when we came to the pages where the sperms met the egg (yes, this was illustrated in glorious pop up!). The distinct gulps of disbelief and undisguised looks of horror when the Bees realised how they were created and from where they were launched into harsh Earth was priceless indeed :)

You're amazing! Attempting to explain the bird and the bees is so ambitious! Then again, I think you have raised two exceptionally brilliant girls who learn well.
Yellowgiraffe: It is super fun looking at the disgust on their faces ;) And whenever I try bringing this topic up, Big Bee would always tell me that she is gonna vomit ;) LOL
Amazing! I also think it is a good idea to start educated the kids correctly..but I just don't know how to start when the time comes. Now this post really comes in handy! I must say the book is the key to start off! Thanks for the recommendation.
