In today's culture, kids are bombarded with the word "sex"- in movies, on T.V., and on the radio. Too often, when they seek understanding of this "word," they are presented with confusing messages shrouded in mystery which can create an unhealthy fascination at an early age. In this very simply, easy to understand book, Barry Hirsch uses the backdrop of a zoo to explain "sex" in its simplest terms of a mother and father animal coming close together to make a baby- that is sex! Children are explained that they cannot understand everything about sex at such a young age, but CAN understand its most simplest concept. Intercourse is never specifically discussed. Barry Hirsch has the unique ability to talk directly to kids, in "kid-talk" about often difficult to understand topics. He is a top selling writer whose combination of the written word and full color images have won him multiple awards.
