Art Children's Literature Literature Illustration Babar Laurent de Brunhoff Jean de Brunhoff

The Art of Babar: the Work of Jean and Laurent de Brunhoff by Nicholas Fox Weber is a generous visual tour through the beloved elephant’s artistic evolution, pairing 192 pages of sketches, finished paintings, and behind-the-scenes stories for bedtime-story fans and art lovers alike.

This 1995 Abrams softcover is heavily illustrated, so every flip of the page reveals how Jean’s gentle watercolors inspired son Laurent to keep the classic series alive.

Former library copy shows laminated cover, spine stickers and the usual stamps, yet the binding remains tight and all images are clear—ideal for budget-minded collectors who want the content more than the shelf candy.

A vintage picture book that doubles as an art reference, it fits nicely into children’s libraries, nursery-rhyme gift bundles, or anyone hunting Babar nostalgia without the collector price tag.
