Curious Nell series.
Translated by Amanda Mayer Stinchecum.
The emphasis in this picture book is that the essential purpose of breasts is to provide nutrients through milk to babies. The step-by-step, often choppy narrative details the process, then looks at the experience from a baby's point of view. The sometimes oddly humorous text and exaggerated illustrations may serve to offset the usually hushed nature of the subject and provide a welcome relief to curious youngsters interested in taking a closer look.

Curious Nell series.
Translated by Amanda Mayer Stinchecum.
An import in the same spirit as Everyone Poops and The Gas We Pass, All about Scabs is just that. Simple, childlike drawings and a brief text give a clear explanation of the science of scabs. Text alternates between facts and the believable dialogue of different children wondering and talking about scabs.
