Reviews

[Robin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love these little Babar books from my childhood. Charm of the big ones, without any of the strange political and colonial undertones. A surprising number of injuries and accidents in four short little stories, though...

[Michael Fitzgerald · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as the regular books - too short. There are some nice illustrations, however.
