Parents Divided Over VERY Detailed Sex Education Children's Book by nairalandbuzz(m): 2:39pm On Apr 24, 2018
'Their bodies fit together, rather like a puzzle': Children's sex-ed book with VERY detailed descriptions hits Kmart shelves - so would you use it to teach your child about the 'birds and bees'?
Children's book about sex education that costs $12 at Kmart has parents divided
'The Amazing True Story of How Babies Are Made' is a picture story book for kids
It describes sex as being like a 'jigsaw puzzle' and details the ins and outs of sex
Parents have accused it of being graphic while others praised it for using 'facts'


A children's book which describes sexual intercourse as being like a 'jigsaw puzzle' where both parties get a 'tingly, excited, very loving feeling' has divided parents, with some saying it is too graphic.

Available on the shelves of Kmart for just $12, The Amazing True Story of How Babies Are Made, by Fiona Katauskas, is a picture story book that makes 'sex-ed honest'.

But not all have approved of parents being able to get out of having a conversation about 'the birds and bees' with their children, with some calling it 'inappropriate' and others defending it as simply being 'fact'.


The Amazing True Story of How Babies Are Made (pictured), a children's book that details sexual education, has divided parents

The book starts with 'Sex and making a baby', where it pictures a naked man and woman lying together, smiling and looking lustfully into each others eyes.

Giving a detailed explanation of the process that leads to an egg and sperm coming together, the book outlines pre-intimacy without sugarcoating it for five-year-olds.

Moving on to detail the throws of passion, Ms Katauskas' book includes a diagram of the man's penis inside the woman's vagina.

The detailed explanation divided parents on Facebook, with some criticising it as too explicit and others defending it as a necessary tool to educate children.

'What is wrong with the world,' one parent wrote.

'Omg really? There is time for all this c**p, just let kids be kids they don't need to know the finer details,' said another.

'Get a life people, you don't have to buy the book and there is no chance of your kids picking it up in the shop to look at if they are properly supervised,' a defended parent wrote.

'The man moves faster and faster until...': The detailed explanation of the book left some parents shocked that it was aimed at children aged as young as five

'Parents buy books like this for kids as a way of teaching them, if you don't want to buy it, don't buy it,' another said.

'Seriously this is inappropriate to be in a kids section,' one comment said.

On her website Ms Katauskas says the idea behind the book came from her struggles to answer a question from her eldest son: 'Where do babies come from?'

'It turned out many of my friends had experienced the same frustration with finding a good sex ed book so I decided to have a go at writing one myself,' Ms Katauskas said.

If someone showed this to me when I was like 5, I would immediately start experimenting.
