This review is from: Babar Loses His Crown (Babar (Harry N. Abrams)) (Hardcover)

I'm not sure exactly what it is about this book, but my 2-year-old wants to read it every night. It's a charming story that hinges on the premise that Babar the Elephant King cannot be seen at the opera without his crown. To find the crown, Babar and his family go all over Paris looking for a man with a moustache who has a small red suitcase that's just like Babar's. It's a fairly long book for toddlers, but it has just one or two sentences per page. My daughter loves to look for the "moustache man," and thanks to this book, she can now identify the Eiffel Tower. We have a very old copy that was mine when I was a little girl, so I hope they haven't changed any parts of the story in this reprint.
