Day The Babies Crawled Away (Hardcover)

The exuberant text is directed to a young boy who catches wandering babies. The fun is in the oversize pictures with silhouette images set against gloriously coloured, subtly shaded backgrounds. These illustrations, reminiscent of the art in Jan Pienkowski's books about Christmas and Easter. The conceit is clever, the artwork is creative and lovely, and children with patience and imagination will find a bit more to see than they might find in a book with conventional art.
