The Babar Collection

Great present for new parents. Make the next generation charming and literate!

Before I ordered it, I searched all over the place—without success—to find out what the five stories in this compilation are. So now that I've received the book, I thought I would do the rest of you a favor by telling you what the stories are. They are: 1) The Story of Babar, the Little Elephant; 2) Babar's Travels; 3) Babar the King; 4) Babar at Home; and 5) Babar and Father Christmas. Another note: Though the book is a paperback, the cover seems very sturdy and high-quality to me. So I do recommend the book!

Loved reading these stories when I was little. Even though in don't have kids of my own these stories take me back to my childhood and I'm all relaxed and stressed free from life, plus my cousin and her husband have 3 kids and they'll enjoy me reading these stories to them like my late mom used to read to me.

This was a baby gift.

Book came early in great condition. The illustrations are just as I remembered from childhood and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Will be sharing these wonderful stories with my grandson soon.

I got the first Babar book at a yard sale, but was disappointed to find that the first 2pages were missing. My granddaughter liked it a lot, so I bought this collection. After it arrived, I understood why the first couple of pages were missing - a hunter shoots and kills baby Babar’s mother. My granddaughter (4) cried and cried, and gun violence was NOT a topic I had wanted to get into, but I did my best. Then I neatly removed the first 2 pages, and it’s a favorite with my granddaughter now.

I bought two copies to give to my great niece and nephew for Christmas. I was looking for a book written in cursive to give them practice reading it since we are forced to teach it ourselves because the schools no longer do so.

The Babar the Elephant stories are enchanting and timeless. Kids want to hear them over and over, and the illustrations are detailed and engaging.

Lovely. This is a great treasure for all Babar fans. Good purchase.

A lovely collection of the original Babar stories. These are great favorites around my house, notwithstanding problematic colonial themes that show its age.

My daughter and I love this book. Her mother-in-law does too. I used to spend hours looking at the illustrations. I really hope that there are young readers out there who will appreciate it?

Arrived safely,as described.Merci bien.

The content was perfect, but the softcover make this book look less classical as the content represent.
