The Art of Babar: the Work of Jean and Laurent De Brunhoff by Nicholas Fox Weber is a lavishly illustrated 1995 Abrams paperback that celebrates the beloved elephant and the artistic legacy behind the classic children's series. Spanning 192 pages, it invites toddlers through adults to explore sketches, finished paintings, and behind-the-scenes stories of the de Brunhoff family.

This ex-library copy shows typical circulation wear: laminated cover scuffed and creased, spine labels, edge stamps, and occasional page rubs, yet the binding remains tight and all images are fully viewable. At just under a kilo and measuring 30 cm tall, it sits handsomely on shelf or coffee table despite its reading-room past.

Perfect for collectors of picture-book art, bedtime-story devotees, or anyone charmed by Babar, the volume doubles as nostalgic nursery décor and a scholarly look at twentieth-century illustration. A smoke-free find offered at an accessible price for gentle reading or creative reference.
