Review Detail

Mama Mammals: Reproduction and Birth in Mammals gives a reader a factual and in-depth account of pregnancy and raising young from many mammal species including humans. This book contains high-level vocabulary such as altricial and precocial newborns (hard to say, but well defined and contains easy-to-understand examples). Every child eventually becomes curious about where they come from, and how they are made, and this book gives accurate information without graphic details. To determine if this book is right for your child, it does say mammals sexually reproduce and does have an illustration of a human penis and vagina (more as diagrams-not shown in the act) and describes how the sperm fertilizes an egg and attaches to the uterus. Overall, if you have determined that your child is ready to learn more information about reproduction this is a good beginning resource.
