Martha, your library tales remind me of my high school biology teaching days. When it came time to discuss the reproductive system, I looked for a film that might be interesting from a catalog of state-owned films we could borrow to show our classes. There was one listed that I decided to get. I had to get special permission from my department head, principal, and who knows who else. The film description had dire warnings about the explicit content of the film. When I got it (and previewed it to make sure I wasn't going to be showing a XXX rated film, there was a section showing a MOUSE giving birth. She danced around a little (I suppose the mouse equivalent of walking during labor!) sat down and popped out a tiny baby. For all that the movie showed, the baby mouse could have come from her armpit. Melissa Vickers, IBCLC [log in to unmask] PS.
