Summary: Not for everyone
Comment: This book has beautiful illustrations that would be interesting to many young children. Unfortunately, there are 2 things about this book that make it unsuitable in many settings. First, the text is written at an advanced level.Few young children could read or understand it. And while older children (12 plus) might get through the text,I think the overall approach and tenor would feel too young for them. So there's mismatch between content and reading level.

The other problem comes from the repeated references to God's plan in the story of reproduction. ("God watches and cares for each tiny embryo as it moves and develops inside its mother.") This heavy religious context would be acceptable in some church settings and some homes, but does not seem appropriate in public school or childcare settings.
