The Birds and the Bees
How Babies Are Made
By Andrew C. Andry and Steven Schepp.
Time-Life Books 1968.
Paper cutout testicles and humping dogs
illustrate the nature of sex in this book. If you can get over
the fact that somebody designed and cut out the sperm path of
mating chickens, you might be able to read this book to an autistic
child.

You can't judge this book by its cover,
unless it is saying, "explicit information presented
in pleasing pastels and lovely construction paper models".

This is tasteful, and such design values.
Unfortunately, I have never seen a flower that looked like
this, even in cross-section.
But wait, it gets better!

That is a strange bug; so realistic,
yet all made from construction paper.
I wondered if any of those projects
in grade school would ever be put to good use.

I grew up on a farm and I know mating
chickens never were this calm.

Oh, this is interesting! Don't those
things come in a sheath?
Heeerb! The dog's humping my leg again!

The problem with these diagrams is that
I never know, is this the front view or is it the back?

Ah, the beauty of childbirth! Not something
you see very often, and so lovingly rendered in construction
paper.

Okay,
let me get this right...
Chickens play piggyback,
Doggies have little thingys too and
Human babies are born with
their eyes shut?!
But Mommie, how does it
happen in the first place?
...And
don't eggs come from the Supermarket?
