It's So Amazing!

Harris, R. (2014). It’s so amazing. Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press. Children begin to ask questions eventually about how babies are made, how and why their bodies are developing, and sexuality. This book breaks it down simply for a young reader to understand. It provides information and answers about safe relationships, prevention of pregnancy and diseases, and understanding their bodies. Illustrations in comic book form are provided to correspond with the text. Harris provides detailed information to any question a young reader would have about the reproduction system, their bodies, and relationships. Colors are vibrant and fill the pages to make it kid friendly. Harris includes two animals, duck and bee, to provide comic book like dialogue to ask questions and lead to answers within the book. This book would be good to use in a health class for simplistic reading materials. If used in a health class or in older reader’s environments, students could work on sequence, chronological order of events, work on summarization using somebody, wanted, but, so, then (SWBST) strategy.
