I found your blog while researching a post I was writing on “How Babies Are Made.” Just have to say that I loved your take on this relic from my childhood and the charming/scary illustrations.

This is the piece I wrote on my blog about the book (also included a link to your blog and a shout-out). http://www.andiepants.blogspot.....chive.html

Cheers!

Hi Michelle, Like Rick my parents gave this book to me back in the late 60′s as a four year old child. While I’m not sure I comprehended it, I do know that it contained answers. And answers were what I wanted. The simple pattern of sex in lift was clearly drawn out and not frightening at all. I stumbled across your blog because just today at lunch a co-worker mentioned that her 3 year old asked how babies are made and I referenced this book. Thank you posting this so that I could show her how I was taught way back when! Yah, the sixties were a pretty cool time to be a child. Saw much more of life and far more honesty than is presented now.

Hi Michelle. my mother actually used this book to teach my sisters and I about the birds and the bees when we were little (5,6,7), which at the time, we found hilarious. I was on Google searching for the pictures online which is how I found your blog post. The images are just as I remembered them. Thanks for taking the time to post this where babies come from content as this was a blast from the past! I talk about this book in a recent comedy skit for toastmasters last week that you might find amusing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ziWTzMXoPE – (fast forward to about ~3 mins in RE references to where babies come from book). Thanks for sharing!

I had this very book at age 4 and I loved how easy it was to read and understand everything. Wonderful book!

It’s inconceivable that you could, and would, be sarcastic about and “make fun” of such a wonderful book as How Babies Are Made. It’s a fabulous book that’s been in print for over 40 years and bought by millions all over the world.

Seriously, for anyone who wants a book to help them teach the “facts of life” to 3 to 10 year olds, HOW BABIES ARE MADE by Andry and Schepp (Time Life Books and/or Little Brown Co) is the only book you should consider using. It’s fabulous — a classic!
