Delightfully amusing illustrations make this collection of classic Babar tales a book to treasure.
After his mother is killed by a hunter, Babar avoids capture by escaping to the city, where he is befriended by the kindly Old Lady. He becomes educated and cultured; upon his return to the great forest, he's crowned King of the Elephants. Translated from Jean de Brunhoff's original French, the adventures of the world's most popular elephant and his friends have enchanted three generations.
