highly recommended

My son loved the pictures of fetal development!

A great introduction to pregnancy for a child. Gets the words [of vital organs] and intercourse" on the table to build on for a later discussion. Agree could use a little more realism of the birth, but otherwise great!

Spellbinding

Our oldest daughter was spellbound by this book that we bought while expecting our second child. Fantastic pictures and a great way to explain to a child what is happening with their mom.

Does your child want to know about the baby inside you?

This is the book--color pictures of the baby inside the womb and yet geared towards children so they can share in the experience even more.Wonderful book!

good for the very very curious young child

God bless the Swedes...no inhibitions here. My 7 year old boy was asking specific questions about child birth and this answered them, alright.

Ever since the publication of the magnificent third edition of A Child Is Born, Lennart Nilsson has devoted himself to retelling this magical story especially for children. How Was I Born? closely follows the experience of Mary who is nearly five and her family as they lovingly prepare to welcome a new baby. The book matches Mary's insatiable curiosity, impatience, and concern with gentle, reassuring information. Nilsson's spectacular photographs illustrate Mary's actual questions: when she wonders how big the baby is, one photo shows an ant on her brother's fingertip, opposite the exact image of her future sibling at that time. When she asks how the baby eats, the reader sees her drinking through a straw as the baby-to-be feeds through the umbilical cord. Meant to be read by a child alone or with a parent, How Was I Born? answers all the questions children ask about pregnancy and childbirth--the biological as well as the emotional ones. Perfect for children aged five and up, it is also a wonderful book of all ages.

From the Hardcover edition.
