My five year old knows the basics of sex. We answer all his questions as thoroughly as we can. When he asks more questions we give more information.

Answer her questions as honestly as you can. If she is old enough to ask the question, then she is old enough to get an honest answer.
When my boys ask something like this, I often counter with "what do you think?". That way I know what they already know, and I go from there. I also correct any misinformation that they may have.

I think awhile back you recommended the book "Its Not The Stork"; for ages 4-7. I then got it for my boys, ( 7 & 6) and while I think it had a bit too much info, I am glad I did read it with them. Because better hear it from me, in age appropriate terms, than on the playground.

This. Kids will often lead the conversation, if you ask the right questions. So always ask leading questions, not yes and no questions. :)
