Synopsis

This Babar classic is a fresh and fun introduction to exploring the world of color.

A visit to Babar’s art studio turns into an adventure in colors and their combinations for Pom, Flora, Alexander, and Isabelle. Before they know it, they’re painting tan camels, pink flamingoes, blue whales, and of course, gray elephants!

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.”
