Synopsis

Author and illustrator Laurent de Brunhoff continues his father Jean de Brunhoff's wondrous Babar children's series with this introduction to the alphabet for the littlest learners.

B Is for Babar takes readers through an alphabet of fun with Babar and his family. Arthur plays the accordion, Flora feeds the fish, and more! Young children will love this bite-size adaptation of the classic picture book Babar's ABC.

"While the illustrations will appeal to toddlers, this board book could be shared with older preschoolers as well." --Booklist

Babar was called by the New York Times a "beloved storybook character," was praised by Where the Wild Things Are creator Maurice Sendak as "at the very heart of my conception of what turns a picture book into a work of art," was featured in USA TODAY, which said, "Few series have had such enduring appeal to young readers," and cited in The New Yorker, which wrote, "There are a few parents who haven't tried the Babar books, and the rare small child who doesn't like, or even love them."

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Laurent de Brunhoff has kept the spirit of Babar alive for more than 50 years. Originating as a bedtime story told by Laurent's mother, Babar first came to life through the art of Laurent's father, Jean de Brunhoff, who produced seven books about the character. Laurent built on his father's work and created many adventures for the elephant family, giving the series new spirit through his use of line and color. Laurent and his wife, Phyllis, split their time between New York City and Key West, Florida.
