HAPPY HOLIDAYS: Celebrating with BABAR AND FATHER CHRISTMAS


Among my favorite books as a child were the stories of Babar the elephant, which we checked out from our local library. Written originally in French, we read the translated English version. There are more than a dozen Babar books. Babar was created by author/illustrator Jean de Brunhoff in 1931. After his death in 1937, the series was continued by his son Laurent de Brunhoff.  In Babar and Father Christmas (1940), Father Christmas brings gifts for the whole elephant family, including the children-- Pom, Flora and Alexander--cousin Arthur, and the monkey Zephir.

In this holiday season I send you best wishes for a very happy celebration with your friends and family!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
