The Story of Babar the little elephant by Jean de Brunhoff
3.0
This classic picture book has good illustrations and a non-stale old-timey feel that is cozy, save for the surprisingly graphic illustration of the death of the old king. I like that the camel is called a dromedary.
In October 2013, I was fortunate enough to meet Laurent de Brunhoff, the current author of the Babar series and one of the two sons for whom Jean de Brunhoff and his wife created the Babar world and books. He is a charming French man, endearing in his readings of his work. His author visit was my impetus for reading the book that started it all.
