Love the way making a cake is compared to having a baby. Eggs comes from hen, milk cow and you need an oven. Egg comes from woman, sperm from man and you need a womb. Talks about egg donation, sperm donation, embryo donation, surrogacy and adoption M. This picture book is well written and easy for a 3 to 4 year old to understand.The book goes through all the different recipes used in IVF from egg, sperm and embryo donation to surrogacy and adoption. The book explains these as recipes as you would when making a cake.I love this book and my now 4 year old twins love it being read to them at bed time. It has helped explain that all recipes are normal and helps to open discussions regarding which recipe their mummy and daddy used. P. I wanted a more science related book to help explain specifics but yet in a kid friendly way. This does a pretty good job and I like how it goes into the different types including egg donation, sperm donation, embryo donation, surrogate, and adoption. It has been good to be able to explain differences and start discussions with my child. I also like how the term "donation" is used instead of "adoption" - just a personal preference. J.
