The 'birds and the bees'

Where Willy went

by Nicholas Allan

This is the story of Willy the sperm who lives inside Mr. Browne - he is gearing himself up for the 'Great Swimming  Race'.  This race entails Willy getting out of Mr. Browne and to be the first to find the beautiful egg inside Mrs. Browne.  Willy is not great at sums but his is VERY good at swimming and with the help of two maps (diagrams of the inside of Mr & Mrs Browne's bodies) he swims with all his might, beats his friend Butch and is the first to reach the egg.  He burrows inside and then something magical happens; a new life begins to grow and grow.  At the end of the book, Edna, a baby girl, is born who, coincidentally, has many similar characteristics to Willy.  The information and diagrams contained in this book are presented in a humorous, colourful and simple manner and it is a fun book to share with youngsters who are curious about human reproduction.
