Title: pretty scary for a young child
Review: I purchased this book thinking that Babar is one of the great classics and how much my 4 year old would love it. Well, I'm glad I read it first. The first thing that happens to Babar is that his mother is killed by poachers. How frightening is that for a young child? Then, left alone in the world, he goes off on his own, has wonderful adventures (the part of the book that's fine) only to come back and marry his cousin. Well, those are not the sorts of things that I'm willing to expose my young children to.
