THE DAY THE BABIES CRAWLED AWAY-by Peggy Rathmann

This is one of my very favorite children's books. A delightful story about a day at the fair. Told by his mother, it's about the adventures of a little boy that has to chase after all the babies because the parents are too busy with the pie-eating contest to notice them leaving. The babies chase butterflies, visit frogs, bees and bats. Finally, the little boy has to make a sling out of their diapers to get them out of the bog and back to their parents. He is honored the hero of the day - HIP, HIP, HURRAY!

It's an easy read with rhyming text and adorable illustrations.
