Purchase options and add-ons

Laurent de Brunhoff’s Babar and His Family is a lively adaptation of the classic picture book Meet Babar and His Family.

Join this royal family on a year full of adventures! Whether they’re sailing the summer seas, building snow elephants, or enjoying a surprise ice cream treat with Cousin Arthur, these elephants sure know how to have fun.

Babar was called by the New York Times a “beloved storybook character,” was praised by Where the Wild Things Are creator Maurice Sendak as “at the very heart of my conception of what turns a picture book into a work of art,” was featured in USA TODAY, which said, “Few series have had such enduring appeal to young readers,” and cited in The New Yorker, which wrote, “There are a few parents who haven’t tried the Babar books, and the rare small child who doesn’t like, or even love them.”

About the Author

Laurent de Brunhoff has kept the spirit of Babar alive for more than 50 years. Originating as a bedtime story told by Laurent’s mother, Babar first came to life through the art of Laurent’s father, Jean de Brunhoff, who produced seven books about the character. Laurent built on his father’s work and created many adventures for the elephant family, giving the series new spirit through his use of line and color. Laurent and his wife, Phyllis, split their time between New York City and Key West, Florida.

My dad read Babar to me when I was little and when I found it on Amazon I couldn’t let my baby go without it. She loves it and it’s hard cardboard so she handles it lovely!

This was purchased as a gift for a friend. I loved this book and other Babar stories growing up. It is a sweet story and seemed perfectly fitting to gift to a soon-to-be mom with elephants as the theme for her son. The book itself appears to be made of reasonably high quality materials. The gloss on the pages was shiny, but not too shiny. The cardboard of the pages was sturdy, it feels like it will withstand years of baby and toddler drool and love.

My kids loved Babar books. We even had the stuffed Babar animals. I wasn't sure the elephant family would appeal to my two year old granddaughter. Luckily, it does. She has a lot of books that just sit on the shelf and several that she wants us to read over and over. Luckily, one of the popular books is this one. I am really pleased as I also love this unusual elephant family.

This is a great book for small children to read. It is a classic. The pages are made of hard cardboard, which will be good for the child to handle and not destroy or rip. I hope over the years to purchase more Babar books.
