This review is from: Babar the King (Babar Books (Random House)) (Hardcover)
I had this book as I was growing up only 14 short years ago and still remember it as a wonderful book and an enjoyable companion to all of the other Babar books. An excellent addition to any child's collection and one they will be sure to treasure and remember for years to come.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Love Babar,
This review is from: Babar the King (Babar Books (Random House)) (Hardcover)
If you're on the fence about Babar books, don't be. I LOVED these as a child and I am thrilled to share them with my children. Only time will tell if they love them as much as I did, but I'm certainly hoping they do.
