Laurent de Brunhoff's Babar and His Family is a lively adaptation of the classic picture book Meet Babar and His Family.

Join this royal family on a year full of adventures! Whether they're sailing the summer seas, building snow elephants, or enjoying a surprise ice cream treat with Cousin Arthur, these elephants sure know how to have fun.

Babar was called by the New York Times a "beloved storybook character," was praised by Where the Wild Things Are creator Maurice Sendak as "at the very heart of my conception of what turns a picture book into a work of art," was featured in USA TODAY, which said, "Few series have had such enduring appeal to young readers," and cited in The New Yorker, which wrote, "There are a few parents who haven't tried the Babar books, and the rare small child who doesn't like, or even love them."

Laurent de Brunhoff has kept the spirit of Babar alive for more than 50 years. Originating as a bedtime story told by Laurent's mother, Babar first came to life through the art of Laurent's father, Jean de Brunhoff, who produced seven books about the character. Laurent built on his father's work and created many adventures for the elephant family, giving the series new spirit through his use of line and color. Laurent and his wife, Phyllis, split their time between New York City and Key West, Florida.
