BABAR'S VISIT TO BIRD ISLAND
by Laurent de Brunhoff
As far as we're concerned Babar's welcome anywhere. In his latest naively told, grandly illustrated adventures, King Babar's three children meet Piros and Cardombal, the red-feathered ambassadors of Bird Island, who invite the neatly tailored elephants over for a splendid session of activities and festivities. Babar, Pom, Flora, Alexander, Col. Cornelius and the rest watch ostrich races, visit bird homes, catch a wicked fish, feast, and invite the birds to visit them.
