Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewThe world-renowned elephant and his royal family take a surprise space journey in this "original Laurent de Brunhoff book" that's out of this world! When Babar, Celeste, and the rest of the clan get sucked inside a rocket ship, they're awed by the cookie-serving robot and the lovely soft music. Soon, the family touches down on a strange planet that's inhabited by elephant-like creatures living in a floating city held up with red balloons. After a juice-and-muffin shower and shoe shopping (the shoes are too small for Babar), the group feels right at home, but when a friendly game of joust leads to a citywide misunderstanding, Babar realizes that hightailing it back to Earth is a good idea. With de Brunhoff's amusing, familiar Babar illustrations that go perfectly with his far-out tale, kids will be trumpeting over this elephantine adventure, which will find a permanent spot on their bookshelves.

Publishers Weekly
Two of Laurent de Brunhoff's tales of Babar, originally created by his father, Jean de Brunhoff, are available once more: Babar's Counting Book (1986), in which Babar counts from "1 big bird" to 10 storks flying overhead (the penultimate spread extends the fun to 20 elephants); and Babar and his family take a rocket past the moon and Mars to an uncharted destination covered with caramel in Babar Visits Another Planet (1972).
