Babar the Elephant has charmed readers since his first appearance in 1931 in the French children’s book Histoire de Babar by Jean de Brunhoff. The story would eventually become one of the most recognized children’s tales and characters in the world, now translated into 17 languages. It tells the tale of a young elephant that escapes the jungle after his mother is killed. Babar is clever and resourceful! He visits Paris, and here he learns about civilization. Babar eventually grows to be King, and teaches his subjects and family many valuable life lessons. The original book spawned many more, as well as film and television adaptations.
