Kathryn Lasky and Christopher Knight share their son Max's anticipation of and antipathy for the baby that will soon be joining their family. This is not a "sex education" book, but a book about feelings and adjustments, which Lasky shares in simple language from a child's point of view.

I just bought this book as a discard from the library. I still have waaay too many hormones, and think this book is adorable enough to want another baby right away. Fortunately, my husband knows better.
