Laurent de Brunhoff’s Babar and His Family is a lively adaptation of the classic picture book Meet Babar and His Family . Join this royal family on a year full of adventures! Whether they’re sailing the summer seas, building snow elephants, or enjoying a surprise ice cream treat with Cousin Arthur, these elephants sure know how to have fun. Babar was called by the New York Times a “beloved storybook character,” was praised by Where the Wild Things Are creator Maurice Sendak as “at the very heart of my conception of what turns a picture book into a work of art,” was featured in USA TODAY , which said, “Few series have had such enduring appeal to young readers,” and cited in The New Yorker , which wrote, “There are a few parents who haven’t tried the Babar books, and the rare small child who doesn’t like, or even love them.” Review: Excellent - A true classic Review: Wonderful Story, Rugged Construction - This was purchased as a gift for a friend. I loved this book and other Babar stories growing up. It is a sweet story and seemed perfectly fitting to gift to a soon-to-be mom with elephants as the theme for her son. The book itself appears to be made of reasonably high quality materials. The gloss on the pages was shiny, but not too shiny. The cardboard of the pages was sturdy, it feels like it will withstand years of baby and toddler drool and love.

Babar holds up pretty well, after all these years!
If you don't know Babar, this is a lovely introduction. The story feels very European and somewhat dated, but it's still fun for me to read with my 11 month old daughter.

Childhood books never get old
My dad read Babar to me when I was little and when I found it on Amazon I couldn’t let my baby go without it. She loves it and it’s hard cardboard so she handles it lovely!

Perfect for my 21 month old son!
Bought this in the board book version for my almost 2 year old. He really loves reading this story and looking at the pictures.

My 2 year old grandson loves this sturdy book. He likes the original Babar best but this one is much more "2 year old" friendly.

Awesome Classics
There is nothing like the classic stories for young children. I bought these for my grandchildren (4 and 5) and they love them. Nightly readings include Babar and Madeline. A subtle lesson is in each story and is portrayed in in entertaining manner.

An elephant we never forget.
I’ve always loved Babar and was thrilled to gift two favorites to my grandnephew. Still the same lovable elephant.

Delightful,story, well-illustated and engaging.
It was an Xmas gift for my 3 and a half year old granddaughter, who has another in the series which was her father's. She often request it for her bedtime book, and likes the illustrations as well as the story.
