The Day the Babies Crawled Away Hardcover - 2003
by Peggy Rathmann; Peggy Rathmann (Illustrator)
In this instant classic from Caldecott Medalist Rathmann, a small boy sees all the babies leaving the fair and follows as they chase butterflies in trees, frogs in a bog, even bats in a cave, ignoring pleas to come back. But not to worry, the young hero saves the day.
Summary
What a lovely day at the fair. Children lining up for pony rides . . . moms and dads in a pie-eating contest . . . babies chasing butterflies . . . babies heading for the trees . . . I SAY! Where are those babies GOING? Only a small boy sees them leaving and follows as the babies chase butterflies in trees, frogs in a bog, even bats in a cave, ignoring pleas to come back. But not to worry, our hero saves the day, making sure that all the babies get home safely from their appealing adventures.
Caldecott Medal winner Peggy Rathmann has created a highly original story told in a lilting text and a bold new style with classic black silhouettes against stunning skies of many colors that change and glow as afternoon turns into evening.
