5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Children's Book, December 26, 1998
By pixiekat@excite.com (moscow, idaho) - See all my reviews
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 Babar the King, July 11, 2009
My son is fond of books. I can always tell if he likes a book, because he talks about it after we read it...This book he is still talking about, and I am rereading, and rereading, and rereading .....

5.0 out of 5 stars Reading Babar in America, September 18, 2008
Babar is funny. I was reminded of this when I read Babar the King to a seven- and a five-year old. They laughed at the elephants dressed up in clothes and they laughed at the elephants at the theatre. When it came to the part about the elephants at war, they stopped laughing. "That's dumb"the older one said.
I had to agree.
