The author, Anat Umansky, has given parents the answer to the age old question, "How do babies come into this world?" This book is well written with children's ages taken into account.Lior and Orly are two children who are playing, and one day they were talking to each other and the question of babies and where they came from came up. Each of the had heard the stories of the stork bringing babies, and comng from the cabbage patch. Both seemed a little silly to them. They thought about asking their parents or grandparents, but neither set was at home.  Then, they decided to look at a book to explain where babies come from.The book discusses fishes, ducklings, kittens and then humans. A very well told and simple explanation. All of it makes sense, and for most children this will satisfy their curiosity. If they have more questions, then each parent can decide just how much information to discuss.The author is well versed on children's needs and how they question. The writing is precise and captures each word precisely. The illustrations by Evygeni Lagutin are colorful and capture the writing with beautiful illustrations. They are also specific to each question. This is a book that belongs in every home. Note: I was given this book to read and review.Recommended. prisrob 12-29-13
