The Story of Babar by Jean de Brunhoff
This first of the Babar adventures tells how the little elephant is rescued by a rich old lady in Paris after his mother is killed by a hunter. In Paris, Babar is educated and taught to be a gentleman. Though happy with the old lady, he misses his friends. When Babar's cousins Arthur and Celeste find him, Babar bids his old lady a fond farewell and the three elephants return to the forest. Home at last, Babar is crowned king and Celeste is crowned queen. Since 1931, Babar has charmed young audiences all over the world.
