"While the illustrations will appeal to toddlers, this board book could be shared with older preschoolers as well." -Booklist
Babar was called by the New York Times a "beloved storybook character," was praised by Where the Wild Things Are creator Maurice Sendak as "at the very heart of my conception of what turns a picture book into a work of art," was featured in USA TODAY, which said, "Few series have had such enduring appeal to young readers," and cited in The New Yorker, which wrote, "There are a few parents who haven't tried the Babar books, and the rare small child who doesn't like, or even love them."
