Summary: Learning tool from 5 years old to 25
Review: I can remember seeing some of the pictures in the book when I was 4 or 5 years old. My mom had a copy around when I was a little girl. She used it to teach me about where babies come from, and I think it was an awesome learning tool. I also remember being in 6th or 7th grade and looking to it again because of the photography itself. How often do you get to see a human fetus?

I've read reviews of this "A Child is Born" that said it was too graphic; I don't think so. If it was too graphic, I would be scarred for life, and not buying a book to have around for when I decided to have children. Looking back, it was nice to have this book on the family bookshelf; when I was in junior high, and emarrased to ask anybody anything about sex, I looked to this book for my answers. When I decide to have children, I'm going to add it to my personal collection as well.

Summary: Pictures worth a thousand words...
Review: I enjoyed reading this book during my pregnancies as it provided full-color photos of the baby developing inside the womb from conception through the later stages. Although it favored the earlier months, and I would have preferred even more photos, it made the pregancy 'experience' so much more exciting and real. It also contains a lot of scientific information which can be useful but which some may find a little dry.
While I found it a good reference guide in addition to my baby bible ("What to expect..."), it's definitely not a replacement for it. Makes a fun gift for nervous new mommies-to-be, too.

Summary: To all expectant fathers,and boys out there as well
Review: I fully recommend this book to anyone who wants to have the most detailed look ever into the womb during pregnancy.I have seen this book before when i was much younger,and i must say this edition is the best ever!The pictures have mostly been updated,no more cheesy 70's/80's look,and the delivery pictures are still excellent but most importantly they are less graphical as they used to be.The text explained more now in a easier to understand context and seeing the joy between newborns and the parents,especially the moms,truly brings tears to me eyes.AA++ and salutes to Mr Nilsson

Summary: Great 'birds and bees' book
Review: I grew up with the early version of this book in my home. I could pull it off the family bookshelf any time and it was a great resource for a curious young mind. The approach is both technical and emotional, a perfect balance when first learning to understand human reproduction! Now that I'm pregnant with my first child, I find it fascinating and reassuring to know what is happening inside my body. The photographs are nothing short of amazing. I can wholeheartedly recommend it for both purposes.

Summary: An everyday source....
Review: I looked at the pictures in this book just about everyday. It made me feel like I could actually see what my baby was going through. This is my first preganancy and this book has really made this experience exciting and has kept me and my husband informed about the changes that are happening each week. I absolutely love this book!

Summary: Want to know your baby before it's born? This is the book!
Review: I love this book!! Follow each step of the baby's development during your pregnancy. Marvelous pictures of the baby inside the womb --even in COLOR! I also have a copy of the book that's geared toward children--so they can see the development of their soon to be little brother or sister!

Summary: Adds to the excitement of pregnancy and birth
Review: I loved following the pictures in the book with the progression of my own pregnancy. The photographs are breathtaking. The text is informative and educational. It is still among my favorite books and my children are now 6 & 7 years old. I buy it for every expecting mom and dad I know. Buy this book.
