This is a fun story to read to children. Although the parent reading it knows that it is really about sex, the child is simply hearing a playful story. The illustrations are bright and whimsical and kids enjoy looking at them. A book that can be read to children but will be enjoyed more by the adults. This is a subversively funny storybook that kids will enjoy having read to them but it may get you laughing so hard you may have trouble doing the reading. I picture the mom reading to the child on her lap while dad is in the hallway, rolling around laughing.
