This is a very extensive book about the sexual relations of different animals, insects and reptiles. I really loved all the illustrations. Some were humorous and some had the wow factor. The book is very informative sometimes even shocking. I am amazed at all the different ways creatures attract the opposite sex and how they copulate. I highly recommend this book. Thanks #netgalley for the advanced reader copy. I loved it.

This is a really cute beginner’s reference book. Kids ask the strangest things sometimes, and this would be a great resource where they could seek their own answers.

This is a non-fiction book for children. I'm obviously a grown-up, but I'm fascinated by anything having to do with animals. I don't have kids so I can't say much about the target reader but the illustrations, gorgeous as they are, may be a little too explicit for the smaller tikes. The facts are very interesting and the collection of species wide-ranging, from insects, to mammals, to fish... everybody is represented. The illustrations are funny but seem accurate, and not being photographs make everything more palatable.
I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thank you, NetGalley/Publisher Spotlight

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I love this j nonfiction book about animals and how and if they fall in love. There's information about courting, who watches the eggs, who feeds, and lots of other fun facts.

Stunning, funny, smart, so candid. Outstanding illustrations. I've rarely enjoyed a work of science non-fiction as much. Will not run out of good things to say about this book. Not sure if it's entirely suitable for children but my science teachers refused to talk about sex and reproduction in class altogether, so my conditioning might be showing. Can't wait for this to be available in hardcover.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an advanced e-readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

This books title says it all! This is a book filled with all different species of animals and how they mate. From the humpback whale males that sing songs into the water to find a mate, or kangaroos that fight each other to be able to mate with a female. Each specie is talked about how they reproduce. This would be good for a helpful add on to teaching about reproduction in living things. There are some graphic illustrations and so I would use this as a read aloud or extra things you don't know, to talk to students or your own children about. This might even be a middle/high school book to use.

Wow! This is a beautifully illustrated and informative even for adults! Where was this book when I was a child? It normalizes and explains sexuality and nature in a way that respects a child’s intelligence. This would be a great conversation starter between parents and a child with questions.

This is a fun book for adults but I would never a,,ow a child to read it. It goes into too much detail about animal reproduction. As an adult, it was interesting.

A very detailed and informative book on mating for different animals. Filled with humor and an easy to understand guide to educate on mating between animals. Has tons of pictures and drawings to help understand the information.

This book is cute. It's a bit hard to read as ebook on adobe but I am guessing that it would be better on kindle. The pictures are great and my kids love it. An excellent book for kids and adults.
