Summary of Babar's Little Girl (Babar Classics)
A re-issue with the original artwork of one of the best loved of the Babar series of children's books. Babar's Little Girl, originally published in 1987, tells of the birth of Babar's youngest child, Isabelle. She is playful and curious. Although she has been told never to go anywhere without letting her parents know where she is, Isabelle wanders off one day to play with friends. At the friends' house they play hide-and-seek, make music, and play cards. When they settle in front of the television, they see Babar on the screen asking if anyone has seen Isabelle. Her friends immediately grab their hang gliders and whisk Isabelle home, where she is greeted with hugs and kisses, and a gentle scolding from Babar.When Babar and Celeste's new baby girl is born, everyone rejoices. What fun it is to watch little Isabelle learn to walk and play trumpet and roller skate... and get lost in the mountains! After the family goes for a walk one day, they discover young Isabelle is missing. Carelessly, Isabelle has forgotten what her papa told her last time she wandered off: never to disappear without telling her family where she is going. Eventually, the little rascal finds herself near the home of old family friends and ends up having a delightful day playing with them, until they see Babar on TV, desperately searching for his daughter. After a thrilling ride on a hang glider, the prodigal daughter returns to the welcoming (if scolding) arms of her family.
Laurent de Brunhoff's exciting Babar adventures, based on his father's original tales and artwork (The Story of Babar, the Little Elephant, Babar the King, etc.), continue to thrill readers, generation after generation. The familiar watercolors of this beloved elephant family are as appealing as ever, even in a contemporary story that includes CD players with earphones and yoga exercises. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
