Book Review ~ It's So Amazing


Harris, R. (1999). It's so amazing. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.

Summary

There is a time in every parent's life that they dread...having "the talk" with their child.  This book has all the information that a parent could ever want to share about the male and female reproductive organs, puberty, birth, babies, and even on families.  Parents can chose to have their child read this book and then answer any questions or go over it with them together.  The book give factual information in the most child friendly way possible. It is full of resources as well.

Analysis
In addition to being accurate, a nonfiction book should have a clearly recognizable organization.  It’s So Amazing!, is organized into sections with a table of contents and an index. It explains the basics of anatomy before going into the more complex idea of reproduction.  This type of organization is patterning the information in a simple-to-complex format.
