Ages 4 to 6

  Babar is truly an elephant of many trades. Not only is he the king of the elephants but now he is also a novice magician. Babar feels that he is ready to show off his new skills so he invites his children, along with Arthur and Zephir, to a magic show.
 To the amazement of all one after another of Babar’s tricks and illusions go off without a hitch, until Babar decides to levitate Zephir. This time something does go wrong and before Babar can stop him Zephir floats off across Celesteville. Perhaps all this magic wasn’t such a good idea after all.
  In this short but sweet little picture book Babar the elephant once again has a most unusual adventure. Young would-be magicians will especially enjoy the story and may even be tempted to try a trick or two of their own.

Action Alert

Reading is Fundamental (RIF) needs your help. The President's proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released in February eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. RIF serves 4.6 million children.
