Welcome to Litsy!

More adventures of Babar! These 2 are the ones I had read to me most as a kid, so I‘m loving all the nostalgia. In retrospect I‘m a little dubious about the things we used to read to small children. I think the tagged volume gave me nightmares about islands of cannibals when I first heard it. Still, I totally want to move to whatever climate Celestville is in so I can have tulips, cacti, and palm trees all in the same garden! #ChildrensClassicRead

I wanted to read more of Babar to see if the books got any better so I checked these out as well. Spoiler alert, these were no better. Just as boring. I found Babar had no character, he was just an elephant on his honeymoon. There were some problematic illustrations that I found offensive but I just read in an article that @TheBookHippie posted that stated the son of the author removed the illustrations.

I'm just so excited that this little bookstore is still around. It isn't often you find a bookstore mainly dedicated to children and teenagers but Livres Babar has managed to stick around! My parents would take us every time we visited my aunt and uncle and I'd usually come out with a stack of 5-10 books! Livres Babar is located in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada.

Congratulations @BennettBookworm on reaching 20K - and thank you for the #20kgiveaway

Book 2 in the Babar series is not quite as good as the first one but still very enjoyable. Will definitely read more in the series! 4⭐️
