It's Not the Stork - Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley

A wonderful book about where babies come from for kids 4-8. Entirely done in cartoon-style illustrations, with age-appropriate descriptions of bodies, babies, and sex. With my three-year-old I just narrate the pictures - there are too many words to read them all aloud, though she'll grow into the text. Buy this early and read it yourself, so that you're not stumped when your child asks some unexpected sex question.

Thanks to my friend Dan for recommending this.
