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.

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.
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.
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!
