The Story of Babar: The Little Elephant by Jean de Brunhoff

2.0

2.5
I think this book is ok, but there are a few issues.

Spoiler

First of all, after Babar has bought his clothes it goes by way too quickly. Like, he goes to live with the old lady and then all of a sudden his cousins are with him, they go back home, Babar becomes King, and decides to marry his cousin.

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.
