The Story of Babar: The Little Elephant

Babar book arrived in perfect condition .It was a joy to give as a gift and did justice to the beauty of Babar's story. Highly recommend!

I love this book to which I was introduced to as a small child. I plan to give it to my little student that I mentor for reading. Hopefully, she will be as enchanted by it as I was as a child. She seems to be an excellent student.

Great children’s classic

Book arrived in a timely fashion and in great condition for a used book. Kids in 2 pre-school classes (2-3 yr olds and 5-6 yr olds) both enjoyed hearing the story of Babar, although some of the older children were very upset to hear that Babar's mommy, was shot and killed by a hunter....so that needs careful attention if you are reading the story to little ones. It was omitted in a reading for the very young ones, and explained with considerable care to the older ones. A good way to help children understand the plight of elephants today. All in all a great success!

This book holds my fondest memories of my childhood, a childhood that was in some ways harder than Babar's. The idea that from the loss of a parent, I could still grow up and be king was something that that gave me confidence and hope. It made me want to learn and to teach others, and it helped me know that life isn't always easy and pretty, but you have to make the most of what you are dealt. I would recommend this book for every child, but especially for those that have lost something dear to them and could use a little help imagining what is possible. The low reviews for this book are all absurd, they are great examples of how poorly we treat our kids and how little we think of them as individuals. These people think they need to hide the world from their children rather than let them see and explore it for themselves. If you feel guilty sharing this book with your kids because you can't deal with reality, then you should really reconsider breading. The world will be a better place for your restraint.

I purchased this book because I remembering absolutely loving the Story of Babar as a child. Disappointed to find that the story wasn't actually that good and that Babar ends up marrying his cousin?! Giving this product 4 stars because I am nostalgic.

Love this book (and its many, many sequels) as a kid. This was fun to read, though I was disappointed it wasn’t printed in cursive. A good 50% of why I ordered it was to see if I could read it these days. 7 years old me struggled with the cursive in the 70s version from the public library! Also, I don’t remember the colonialism from back in grade 2. I mean obviously it was there; but damn. You know?

nice quality. exactly what I ordered

子供が読んでも、大人が読んでも楽しめる本です。ありがとうございます。

Il libro è arrivato puntualmente e in buono stato. Non ha propriamente la forma di un libro ma piu' di un quaderno leggero e dalle dimensioni A4. Sono soddisfatta

I wasn’t expecting to have to deal with death in a children’s story, but it’s a sweet story and my child enjoyed it.

This was a part of the series I procured for the Late Maharaja of Mysore, he loved the quality. Thank you very much.

Los niños de distraen con este cuento en inglés. Los dibujos ayudan a seguirlo muy bien!
