Happy Birthday Babar

November marks the 80th anniversary celebration of the American publication of the classic Babar children's book.  



I loved these books when I was a kid.  Weasley and I stopped to check out the window display at Books of Wonder in Manhattan that celebrated the King of Elephants.

  9. Babar was my first real book that I "got" and therefore enjoyed immensely! I think I was probably in line for the first edition (at least it seems I'm that old!). I also enjoyed reading Babar to Christy (Payton's Mom) when she'd let me.
