Problematic in many ways, but I still love Babar. Plus, my nephew liked it. :)
Recuerdo a Babar con mucho cariño, un pobre 
que tiene la suerte de encontrar a una benefactora en la ciudad. Hay lecturas más críticas que la mía, y no seré yo el que las discuta. Pero como el mismo autor del artículo refleja, los niños no leen el subtexto de Babar. La historia me pareció edificante en su día, cuando yo era el público objetivo del libro.

Read in Portuguese: "Viagem à Lua" // I have also read "A Festa Continua" (3 stars), which is not yet in Goodreads.
I read this for a "Picture Books and Graphic Novels" course I am taking.

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.
