I *really* didn’t remember how horrifying this story is. A baby elephant’s mother is murdered, then he goes to get “civilized” in the big city, then he comes back to marry his cousin? Just. Wow.

Colonization at it's finest.

J’aime que cette livre sont relativement facile, parce que mon niveau de Français n’est pas trés élevé. 

Pourqoui donc mes 3,5 étoiles? Je pense c’est n’est pas d’une oeuvre qui sont super belle ou littéraire. Mais bien sûr, c’est une histoire mignonne est donc été très amusant à lire. 
J’ai vu le programme de Babar toujours à la télé, j’aimais cela bien avant. Pourqoui c’est maintenant la nostalgie pour moi. 

Voilà, mon avis. Tout à fait recommendé! (Certainement aux personnes qui commencent à apprendre Français.)


This book has not aged well. Well, actually the art is pretty cool, it's the story that's a challenge.

On top of the colonialism and the casual killing of Babar's mother, you've got the idea of relatively dumb elephants. And the writing itself is simple and trite.
