Where babies comes from, beginning with Mom and Dad's courtship and marriage and going on to their pleasure in shared activities like cooking and bathing; then, ``that winter they decided they wanted to have a baby...So they made love.'' Pregnancy is shown from a child's point of view: Mom's changing shape, feeling the baby's movement. In the warm, generalized illustrations (rough pencil, gentle color), the important moments are discreetly shown without explicit detail; the minutes-old baby is shown resting on his happy mother's stomach and, later, nursing, while a final illustration depicts the growth of the fetus within the mother's body. Many families will find that this wholesome French import offers just the right amount of straightforward information. (Nonfiction. 3-8)
