The Day The Babies Crawled Away by Peggy Rathmann is a book about a group of babies that crawled away and one older child goes after to make them come back. However they refuse to listen and keep crawling to find things that interest them. I really liked how the text rhymed and was sing-songy throughout the book because it made the whole book more fun. The illustrations were fun to look at because they kept the peoples and object silhoutted in black and add colors in the background. The colors in the background seem to be done with watercolor and depict a very realistic feeling that the day and night are progressing and eventually fading. The book is very youthful and would be a fun read especially to younger children to portray how they can do anything they put their mind to. I think this would be great for a lesson where children would write about their own series of events with colorful descriptions.
