Books explaining DS to a child?

Does anyone know of any books that help explain the use of DS to a child?
I did a search on Amazon and basically just find medical books or books for adults.
If anyone has any recommendations I'd appriciate it.

Thanks,
Robin

I know I wrote some titles earlier in this group; I already forget the names! If you can stand to look backwards for my name (Nathanzmom) you can find the post.

I got Let Me Explain (by Schnitter) for my son. I don't think it's the best book in the world, but we have limited options. I personally didn't like the drawings (just an artistic preference!) and there was a long explanation about sperm and eggs that I think is boring for kids. I would actually be willing to mail it to you for the cost of mailing it. We are done with it. He's 13, and it's for someone like 5, 6, 7 or so.

FYI, the way I really explained DI to my son...I got the book WHERE DID I COME FROM? It's a facts of life book. I started reading it to him in preschool. In one part it does talk about sperm, but it's a cartoon sperm in a top hat. I told him Daddy's sperm didn't swim good like the one in the book, so the dr. got some good swimmers from a nice man, his donor. He just took the whole thing for granted, like that was fine! He was a-okay with it.

Thanks for your post. I'll do a search for your suggestions. I actually have that book, "Let me explain" and I have to agree with you, And what is with the picture in the book of the dad and son naked in the shower together but both wearing baseball caps?????


Thanks,
Robin
