Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Review:
"[A] whimsical, wry caper....Adding to the value of this impressive volume is a large, handsomely reproduced pull-out poster featuring nine of the
'masterpieces' from the book, framed in gold leaf. A visual treat all around." Publishers Weekly
Review:
"In keeping with his father's original vision, Laurent de Brunhoff...injects the book with humor that's based on the incongruity of elephants living a cosmopolitan life." Emily Jenkins, The New York Times Book Review
Review:
"As entertaining as it is instructive, this is a great choice for museum-bound families as well as teachers." Gillian Engberg, Booklist
Review:
"That venerable elephant returns in another classically plotless but curiously appealing outing....[A]s a deeper invitation to encounter art, it barely serves as an introduction." Kirkus Reviews
Review:
"Consider this an introduction to museums for the youngest readers, especially for Babar fans. Older students will find entertaining comparisons to classic art collections." School Library Journal
Review:
"[T]his wonderful book is such a great tool for children....What this book does for children is to open up their horizons and give them a freedom in how they look at art and also, one hopes, how they create their own art." Marya Jansen-Gruber, Children's Literature
Synopsis:
Following the phenomenal success of Babar's Yoga for Elephants, here is a new adventure for Babar — one with even wider appeal. Children and adults will want to visit Babar's Museum of Art again and again!
Synopsis:
Following the success of "Babar's Yoga," De Brunhoff's latest Babar adventure has even wider appeal for art-lovers everywhere. Babar decides to share his growing art collection with the public by converting Celesteville's former train station into a museum. Full color.
