Can anyone recommend a good age appropriate book about sex and how babies are made which is suitable for a 6/7 year old?

He knows that babies grow in mummy's tummy and the basic differences between girls and boys bodies, but he hasn't really asked anything beyond that, I just want to be prepared.

For context, he is an only child and there is no chance we will be having another, so I don't really want a book with the premise of 'so you're getting a baby brother/sister'

Thanks!

This is a brilliant book! My kids of a similar age love it and it definitely clears things up a bit.. and leads to other conversations!
