The book certainly seemed innocent enough. A perfect choice for bed-time relaxation. "You're Body". Skeletal, Muscular, Repertory, Circulatory, and Nervous systems all explained in terms and images suited perfectly to a pre-schooler. Imagine my shock when I turned to the last page and realized the one system that hadn’t been covered yet: Reproductive! Imagine my further shock when my very own pre-schooler exclaimed "the sperm fertilizes the egg"! After collecting my thoughts I decided to press on. The book had been at a high enough level of detail so far that I had no reason to worry. Just please don't ask me how the sperm and the egg get together in the first place!
