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

4.0

This is a story about a very strange older rich lady who enjoys spending her money on elephants apparently. Not really, but it is a strange lady to spend her riches on elephant clothes and she gives this elephant her car, not a cheap gift.

The story is about Babar the elephant and his journey from his mother being shot out from under him and killed by a hunter, his run to the city where he meets the old woman and then how he wears clothes and acts like a human. This is from 1933 and it’s an interesting little story. I think if I were a child, I would like this more. I’ll give it another star in that consideration and for being a classic.

Now the children did like the story and the elephant wearing clothes. They were very sad when the mother was killed. They were shocked. The nephew loved seeing the elephant drive. The nephew gave this 5 stars and the niece gave this 3 stars.
