About This Book
Reach for this book when your child asks the inevitable and awkward question, Where do babies come from? and you want to navigate that conversation with humor rather than clinical lectures. This quirky chapter book follows a father who, caught off guard by his son Chris's questioning, resorts to the old fib about babies being found in cabbage patches, only to have his lie manifest in a very literal and hilariously messy way. It is a fantastic choice for parents of children aged 7 to 10 who are starting to sense when adults are being evasive. While the story is rooted in absurdist humor, it touches deeply on the themes of honesty, the bond between a father and son, and the responsibility that comes with caring for something new. Parents will appreciate how it turns a high-pressure parenting moment into a shared laugh, ultimately reinforcing that the truth, while sometimes complicated, is better than a growing lie.
