Read in Portuguese: "Viagem à Lua" // I have also read "A Festa Continua" (3 stars), which is not yet in Goodreads.

I really liked the Story of Babar! He was a very snazzy dresser and it was a merry tale.

Hmmm how did I never notice before that Babar marries his cousin?!
A nice intro story to the world of Babar.

Going through these lists of classic children's books is reminding me of some of my old favorites. How could I have forgotten Babar and the tragic way he lost his mother? I loved that he became a traveler, and that he went back to visit the jungle where he was born. I wish children today still read some of these sweet old stories.

I think this book is ok, but there are a few issues. The beginning is pleasant but the rest isn't at all. The start, I must say, is quite nice and amusing as well, since no-one seems to be surprised that an elephant is walking around and buying clothes. As for the characters, since they appear so briefly, the only one I like is the old lady because she is so kind to Babar. The illustrations are ok but nothing memorable or extraordinary.
