Babar, the King of the Elephants, sets out to find Father Christmas and bring him back to visit the children of the elephant's country.

An orphaned baby elephant goes to live in the city with an old lady who gives him everything he wants, but he eventually returns to the forest where he is crowned king of the elephants.

Six tales chronicling the life and adventures of Babar the elephant including "The story of Babar, " "The travels of Babar, " "Babar the king, " "Babar and Zephir, " "Babar and his children, " and "Babar and Father Christmas."

The young Babar, King of the Elephants, must save his homeland from certain destruction by Rataxes and his band of invading rhinos.

Follow the adventures of Babar's eight-year-old grandson Badou, as he along with his friends and family solve numerous mysteries and puzzles in Celesteville. Badou is a 'one-elephant stampede,' bursting with a sense of adventure. He laughs often and has inherited his grandfather's daring spirit, often plunging into a situation (or a hidden passageway or unexplored temple) fully confident that he can handle whatever he finds.
