Synopsis

The perfect companion to Babar's ABC and Babar's Counting Book!Twenty years after its original publication, and on the heels of the best-selling Babar's Museum of Art, Babar's Book of Color remains 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. Not only do they each adopt a favorite color, but they discover the joys of mixing two colors together to make a third. Before they know it, they're painting tan camels, pink flamingoes, blue whales and, of course, gray elephants! Babar's Book of Color will encourage a new generation of young children to find the color in their own lives. Author Bio: Laurent de Brunhoff has kept the picture book world's most beloved elephant going strong for over 50 years. He has created over 30 books featuring the character created by his father, Jean de Brunhoff.

Publishers Weekly

A pair of Laurent de Brunhoff titles starring everyone's favorite elephant offer education and adventure. In Babar's Book of Color, the hero's children and nephew learn their colors in Babar's studio, mixing paints while making portraits of appropriately hued animals, vegetables and other objects. Overlapping balloons demonstrate color combinations. Young Isabelle comes to her father's aid after he disappears from their campsite in Babar's Rescue. With the help of a lion, a monkey and a snake, she tracks him to a tribe of striped elephants in a hidden city. (Mar.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
