BABAR'S TRAVEL WITH ELEPHANTS GEB (Babar (Harry N. Abrams)

" Following the phenomenal success of Babar's Yoga for Elephants and Babar's Museum, Larent de Brunhoff's latest, all-new Babar adventure will take children on a world tour they'll never forget! As Babar said to his children, "We are taking you around the world." And so he does in Babar's World Tour, the latest from the venerable storyteller and artist Laurent de Brunhoff. Our favorite elephant family visits a number of countries around the globe. The first stop is Italy where they learn to say, "Buon Giorno! Hello!" After that, it's off to Germany, Spain (where they learn to flamenco dance!), Russia, India, Japan, and Thailand (for snorkeling). Then Mexico, the Southwest United States, Egypt, Antarctica, and of course, France (just in time for a fashion show!). In this adventurous addition to the Babar series, children are introduced to an international array of cities, customs, and languages as they learn to say "hello" in each new country. Babar's World Tour is enjoyable and entertaining for armchair travelers of all ages." About the Author: "Laurent de Brunhoff has kept the spirit of Babar and his family alive for more than 50 years. He has continued to bring life to the beloved elephant family created by his father, Jean de Brunhoff, a decade before. Since that time, he has produced over thirty books that have enthralled children and adults around the world. He and his wife, Phyllis Rose, live in Key West, Florida."
