The Day the Babies Crawled Away by Peggy Rathmann

Peggy Rathman's silhouette drawings are stunning to look at, especially with the pastel sunsets in the background. Her pictures illustrate the day when all the babies crawled away and one boy-hero saves the day and all the babies. She tells her story with fun rhyming verse.

This is a good story about teaching responsibility, and would probably be a good story for any young ones who have a new baby brother or a sister.

Ages 2 to 7.
