Harris, R. (1999).
It’s So Amazing. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.
Summary:
This informational
book teaches young readers everything they need to know on reproduction,
bodies, and sex. Loaded with facts and helpful pictures, this book informs
without overwhelming. Aimed at a young audience, this book uses a fun bird
character that asks questions reflecting those readers might have. The use of
this clever cartoon makes a potentially embarrassing subject seem easy to talk
about.
Notes:
This book is divided into chapters and easy to navigate for students looking to research only one facet of reproduction. Although the book could rival a textbook with the amount of information it contains, the use of cartoons and graphics makes it enjoyable to read and far less intimidating to young readers.
Extension:
Give students an anatomy diagram from the book and have them label it.
