Course Review
A short overview of this book
The Amazing True Story of How Babies Are Made TV is an entertaining Australian cartoon that explains (in a humorous way) exactly how babies can be made. So if you love the book, then you may want to check out the cartoon version.
Now, this video does talk about sexual intercourse, and it does show the penis going into the vagina. It also talks about the other ways a baby may be made, as well.
When you click through to the salespage, you will find some video clips that give you a closer look inside this resource.

Hey there, it’s Cath from Sex Ed Rescue! I wanted to give you a sneak peek into this awesome cartoon that goes along with a book. So, a few years ago, a mom in Australia went to Kmart and saw her five or six-year-old looking at this book. She was totally shocked because it had pictures of sex in it. Can you believe it? Well, she took a photo, shared it on social media, and guess what? It went viral! Suddenly, book sales skyrocketed and this book became super popular outside of Australia.
Now, let me tell you a bit about the book. It’s written by a cartoonist journalist who wasn’t happy with the sex books available at the time. It’s kind of like the classic Where Do Babies Come From? book that many of us grew up with. It’s very factual and straightforward. It explains that all girls have a vagina or a revolver, and all boys have a penis. But hey, you can always change the language to what suits you and your family.
Now, let’s dive into the cartoon itself. I have a friend named Vanessa Hamilton in Melbourne who was involved in creating the classroom kit and making sure all the written information is top-notch. You can choose to get just the video or go for the whole package with extra goodies. It’s something you can open up on your device and explore. Take a look at all the cool stuff it includes. It’s up to you if you think it’s worth the extra 20 Australian dollars.
Oh, and did I mention it’s Australian? So, here are some examples of what you can expect. These extras can be a helpful way to extend the conversation with your child. But if you prefer, there’s also a version that’s just the cartoon. The creator uses humor throughout, making it funny and enjoyable for both parents and kids. It’s definitely not a touchy-feely, gentle resource, so be ready to have a good laugh.
The cartoon covers topics like bodies, differences between them, puberty, how babies are created, and even how they grow and are born. It’s quite entertaining and something you can easily watch with your child.
Now, let’s talk about the options. You can choose to buy just the animations, which are the three episodes, or go for the extended version with additional activities. If you click through to those pages, you’ll find more information.
Overall, I think this resource is fantastic! It’s a fun and different way to engage your child in a conversation about sex. Sometimes, sitting down and talking about it can be tricky, right? That’s why I love this cartoon. What kid doesn’t want to sit down and watch a cartoon? It’s a great way to get the conversation going and provide important information. And guess what? It’s even more affordable than buying the book itself! So, it’s definitely worth considering.
But hey, if this particular resource doesn’t resonate with you, no worries! I have other courses available in the Sex Ed shop. There’s one about Rowena who goes into schools and works directly with kids. But I understand that not all parents and kids will connect with that approach. So, this cartoon is just another option to explore.
You don’t really need the book to go along with the cartoon since all the information is covered in the video. It’s a fun way to start the conversation, and it’s very reasonably priced. So, why not give it a shot and see how it goes? I hope this was helpful for you. Cheers!
