This book offers basic explanations of body functions and serves as a starting point for discussion. Questions young children are likely to ask are stated in simple language and succinctly answered. "Why do I get hungry?," "Why do my friend and I have different skin colors?," "Why do I get hiccups?," and "Why can't fathers have babies?" are among the topics addressed. Supplementary tidbits of information-"It doesn't tickle when you tickle yourself" and "You have over 206 bones in your body"-are included under the heading "Did you know?" Blue pen-and-ink drawings, shaded with colored pencil, are large and vibrant, depicting an African-American preschooler and her family. Friends and other adults are representative of a variety of ethnic groups; gender depiction is balanced and nonstereotyped.
