Reviews

"A parent recounts the stages of a fetuss development using vivid comparisons to objects in nature (a little pearl inside an oyster), while Saloms life-size pop-ups show it cradled in its surroundings. The developing fetus is the size of a cherry, then of a frog, as big as a sunflower, and, in the sixth month, bigger than my hand, like a starfish surrounded by coral. In the eighth month, it was almost time to fly, and the child is shown in a birds nest, surrounded by white flowers. Mart includes details about a fetuss physical changes in the womb, as well as the mothers reflections on its movements: Sometimes you had hiccups! Young readers will enjoy seeing the gestational changes in each pop-up spread. Ages 57.(Mar.)"
