Mommy Laid and Egg

Mommy Laid An Egg is another book written by Babette Cole. This is a funny book about a mom and dad who decide that it is time to tell their children about where babies come from. They explain that babies can come from a lot of different places. They can be delivered by dinosaurs, found under stones, grown from seeds, squeezed from a tube, or come from an egg laid by a mommy. The children laugh at their parents and it is the children who explain to the parents where babies really come from.

This book gives an honest and rather comical explanation of where babies come from from the children's perspective. I think the material is appropriate for giving children the true blunt explanation of where babies come from. Although this book is informative, I feel that the illustrations are graphic and inappropriate for young children. I would leave this book for individual parents to decide whether or not they would like to share this book with their child.
