The Review Below is Absolutely Ridiculous.

Though a mostly fair review about the quality of this book, I was APPALLED that someone felt this illustration of a woman's body is inappropriate for children. Are you kidding me? The image is not sexual in any nature - wow, how dare a child that you probably breastfed see a woman's body! The illustration is /hardly/ detailed and completely appropriate. Had it been a shirtless man of the same illustration quality, the below review would not even exist.

Great stories, one pic of lady’s chest

First off this is labeled as a children’s book so I didn’t think I needed to worry. There is one illustration of a lady’s chest all other illustrations are clean. Pic attached. If your looking for great illustrations I’d say look at Jerry Pinkney instead. I plan on taking the page out since the other side is another pic anyway.
