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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.
