Babar, c’est le célèbre Roi des éléphants!Les membres de sa petite famille, Pom, Flore, Alexandre et Isabelle, se regroupent autour de lui et l’implorent de tout leur raconter sur ses aventures passées. Nous le suivons de l’enfance á l’âge adulte alors qu’il découvre la vie, et apprend son devoir de roi et de père. Ouf! Ce n’est pas une tâche facile!
Babar est né de l’imagination de Cécile, la femme de Jean de Brunhoff, un soir d’été de 1930. Les aventures entraînantes et amusantes de l’éléphant-roi présentent une panoplie d’histoires drôlement colorées qui accompagnent et aident les enfants dans leur développement et dans lesquelles ils peuvent se reconnaître.
