A friend introduced me to this book and we absolutely love it. Its a cute, honest and truthful story without being graphic about the origins of a baby. My 6yo loves telling her friends about how awesome Willy is. She really likes that there are two treasure maps provided before he races, one for Mr. Brown and one for Mrs. Brown. We recommend this book all the time.

I find this book hilarious but also very well written and great for young children. I got it to help a very inquisitive 6-year-old.
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2013
I got this book to start introducing the idea of sex to my six- and seven-year-old children. They love this book. They've both re-read it several times and talk about the concepts within. Some of the diagrams are simplified for the intended audience (not expecting Gray's Anatomy), but it was adequate enough to satisfy my daughter's piquing curiosity about how bodies are different and my son's curiosity about exactly how a man's penis contributes to making a baby.

But this book isn't the first and last conversation you should have with your kids about the topic, either. We're using it as a launching point, to put the seed into their minds (bad pun) that this happens and this is where they came from. And they love discussing whether they were Willy, if they are better at swimming or at sums, etc. They'll ask more detailed questions as time passes (and they already have). But I can't stress enough how enjoyable this book was for both my kids and me and I can't imagine a better or easier way to start this conversation.

I work as a counselor, and often times meet with young teens/tweens and/or cognitively impaired young folks. This book is very colorful, not raunchy at all, and still puts a smile on your face, all while educating the reader about the basic functions of reproduction. Helping a young person understand why they get physically aroused can sometimes be awkward, but having this book around as a tool sure helps in those difficult cases. The story line itself is actually rather funny as well, so everyone can laugh, and not feel tense when reading the book. My 9 year old daughter found the book on the table when I got it home and went through it. She gave me a funny look, and asked me what it was, after she had read it. I snickered, but explained it to her, and now she is much more comfortable with the entire topic. I didn't intent for my 9 year old to see it, but I believe she handled it rather well. Maybe that can help you decide wether or not your child is at the appropriate age for sexual education. If nothing else, it's a fun story!

This book is funny. At the same time educational for your younger children who ask the questions "Where do babies come from".
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2019
I loved this book. I let my kids read it considering they're teenagers and it also made them laugh. It made sense to them. It wasn't uncomfortable to talk about how we all have the "winners of the race" in common.

I absolutely LOVE this book!
It's hilarious and informative. The perfect combination!
I happily read it to my 1 1/2 year old, we both wanted to read it again!

3.0 out of 5 stars Printing problems
Reviewed in the Netherlands on December 21, 2022
I am satisfied with the content. Depending on the family’s culture and the child’s curiosity
, it can be read for children between 4 to 8.

However, I am disappointed with the printing. Two pages were attached together. When cut by scissors, the left page was found completely unattached to the book, as can be seen in the picture. I have to use some glue or tape for fixing it.
I will not return it. It will be waste of time.

This is the perfect introduction to discuss where babies come from. Gives all the right terms and presents the concept of conception in a way that even our 4 year old understood enough for now.

Absolutamente maravilloso y totalmente imprescindible en todas las casas para explicar de una manera amena y divertida de dónde vienen los bebés. Lástima que en castellano esté totalmente descatalogado, porque es un gran álbum, pero los textos son cortos y sencillos, muy fácil de entender y traducir
