I do love ClementineвЂ™s reaction of вЂњthatвЂ™s grossвЂќ and Zoom-ZoomвЂ™s explanation of how it's not gross for adults in love, shutting the door to the coupleвЂ™s room to give them more privacy.

Next, this app explains the actual act of a man and woman having sex, called вЂњhaving sex,вЂќ which explains exactly how the sperm enters into the vagina without being graphic or gross and includes a visual of a man and woman in bed, covered by sheets. Later, to explain the process of conception directly, this app tastefully allows Zoom-Zoom's вЂњwonder visionвЂќ to see under the clothing of a man and woman, first showing them nude with natural amounts of pubic hair while also allowing a more close-up view of these private areas using Zoom-Zoom's вЂњzoomвЂќ feature, then using the x-ray like вЂњwonder visionвЂќ to explain the difference between a womanвЂ™s vulva and vagina as well as to see inside the uterus, ovaries, eggs, and fallopian tubes.ДЄlso included are the inner workings of the manвЂ™s penis, such as moving sperm that Clementine compares to tadpoles. I am so very fond of how this app explains that animals as well as humans fall in love as the first step in making a baby - explained here as children are asked to take snapshots of animals such as birds, squirrels, and lions as well as two heterosexual couples who are in love within their local park. Also thoughtfully included are older siblingвЂ™s concerns about being loved less when a new baby arrives. With ClementineвЂ™s hand-held talking camera, personal friend and trustworthy confidant Zoom-Zoom, the birds and the bees are explained in a way that is palatable and wholly age-appropriate for children whose parents deem them ready to hear not only about babies but actual sexual reproduction. This app includes a wonderful use of animation, a glorious palette of bright and appealing colors, vague vintage charm, and terrific narration.

From here, the age-old question of вЂњwhere do babies come from?вЂќ is approached in a way that really makes me smile. Unlike 9 Months!, which I reviewed previously, Clementine Wants To Know takes a decidedly child-centric tone as it tackles this subject from the point-of-view of Clementine: a six year old who has just found out that she is going to be a big sister. Clementine Wants To Know: Where Do babies Come From is a warm and charming app for children about where babies come from that focuses on the social side of sexual education as well as including factual material about a baby's evolution from an embryo to a fetus, including a live birth.
