After a rocket ship lands near Babar and his family during a picnic, they are astonished to find themselves swept up and on their way into outer space! After a long journey on a craft with no pilot, they finally land on an unknown planet. Its inhabitants are strange-looking creatures who appear friendly and happy to see the elephants. But will Babar and his family be able to communicate with the aliens and find a way to get back to Celesteville? Originally published in 1972, this reissue brings an exciting adventure in space back to life for young readers.

Excellent,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Babar Visits Another Planet (Hardcover)
I love this book. I ordered it off of Amazon.com for my daughter who, at two, is discovering and already loving books. This book was given to me as a child and I wanted to share some of my loves with her, but not at the price most bookstores were asking. The story is fun, and short for a Babar book. Written in the 70's by Laurent De Brunhoff (second generation De Brunhoff), it tells the tale of meeting another "culture" from another planet: a big theme at the time of early space exploration. The illustrations colorful and creative. I am happy with the description from the vendor, the price, the quick and well packaged shipping. Everything came together beautifully. I couldn't be happier. Thank you.

Babar is GREAT!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Babar Visits Another Planet (Hardcover)
My mother bought a bunch of these books for my 3 yr old because she remembered how much I loved them as a child. These are great books for introducing concepts such as imagination, manners, and friendships to young children. My son is thrilled with this book and I look forward to adding to his Babar collection!
