Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-09 00:00:00 Donald Schultz That famous picture-book elephant Babar, who first appeared in 1931 in The Story of Babar , presents the alphabet in this educational title for younger children. Each letter is presented with a word beginning with that letter, as well as one or two examples of sentences using such words - Zephir gets jam on his jacket when he juggles the jars" - as the book proceeds from A to Z. Although not the book I had intended to read - I was looking for a copy of the English translation of the 1934 ABC de Babar , the fourth of seven original Babar books penned by Jean de Brunhoff, but somehow got this 1983 title from de Brunhoff's son Laurent, who has continued his father's work - I did find this a fairly engaging selection, as alphabet books go. The artwork is appealing, especially for fans of Babar, and the examples used are unexceptionable. Sadly, it doesn't look like my library system has the original Jean de Brunhoff alphabet book, so my plan to read all of his original Babar titles has hit a snag. I'd be curious to know what examples the father gave, and how they compare to the son's, but since that isn't possible, I'll be moving on to the next book in the series, Babar and Zephir .

Review # 2 was written on 2016-08-24 00:00:00 Jeffrey Schmidt Un libro entretenido que hasta los más pequeño que todavía no leen pueden apreciar. No contiene texto solo imágenes y cada letra del abecedario para que los niños al ver las ilustraciones aprendan y descubran palabras con esas letras. Libro interactivo para los más pequeños
