From Booklist
Younger with an adult. Cole, who looked at reproduction in her humorous picture book Mommy Laid an Egg (1992), uses a similar approach to explain puberty. When a little girl asks her teddy bear about growing up, she learns all about Mr. And Mrs. Hormone, the nasty stuff they pump through adolescents' bodies, and the disturbing effect the stuff can have--even on people like her own parents. The picture-book format, with large print and bright, lively, cartoon watercolor illustrations (several of which show anatomically correct nudes), vies somewhat with the subject matter. Also, the text mentions menstruation and ejaculation. Some young children may even find the monstrous Hormone family more frightening and confusing than amusing, and the book is sure to spark some laughs from the older kids. Even so, parents comfortable with candor may want to use this as an introduction to a "birds and bees" talk, a chat about what's happening to an older sibling, or as a comical springboard to books for older children, such as Robie Harris' well-detailed It's Perfectly Normal (1997). Certainly the ultimate message here is positive: without hormones and adult sexuality, the little girl in the story would never have been born. Catherine Andronik
