Description

In 1931 Jean de Brunhoff created Babar, a little elephant who walked out of the jungle and into the hearts of readers the world over. Widely recognized as the father of the picture book, Jean de Brunhoff wrote and illustrated six Babar stories before his early death in 1937. Every word and every picture of these classics is included in this big, inviting gift edition.
