Mommy laid an egg

In this hilarious twist on one of the most difficult discussions in a child’s development, award winning author Babette Cole illustrates the one question all children are bound to ask: Where do babies come from?

Mom explains that you can make babies out of gingerbread, grow them from seeds, or squeeze them out of tubes, while Dad says you can find babies under rocks. Amused by their parents’ silly answers, the children decide to set the adults straight. In a series of zany diagrams, the children show the adults exactly where babies come from. The offbeat illustrations are accompanied by a text that is short, simple, and anything but predictable. This is a funny book that will delight, entertain, and educate the entire family.

    I would highly recommend this book.
    I thoroughly enjoy this book. I
    raced through it and was eager to share my learning with those around
    me. A fantastic book especially for first-time parents like me.

  • Myrrah

    I think this book is really great, it takes some of the seriousness out
    of what can be embarrassing questions while remaining factual and
    informational.

    I great book!

  • West

    This is a definite for all to have in the house to refer to when you
    need inspiration and reassurance. It would make an excellent gift for
    new parents.

  • Lisagordon

    Mommy Laid an Egg offers me the opportunity to explain reproduction–and
    the intricacies that surround it, such as how the egg is actually
    placed into mommy’s uterus–exactly the way I would want a child to
    understand it…not too much, not too little.
