In addition, Babar and Celeste s children are all grown up, and romance is in the air. Babar s daughter, Flora, likes to watch the handsome pole-vaulter Cory, from the country of Mirza. One day the two meet in the park, and love soon follows. When Cory asks Flora to marry him, everyone must come together to help them have a magnificent Mirzi wedding. "Babar s Celesteville Games" is a grand tale about sportsmanship, love, and diversity. Praise for "Babar's Celesteville Games" From a franchise as sturdy as an elephant s memory comes explicit international goodwill. The book s appeal lies in these calmingly recognizable characters participating in Olympic sports and a mixed marriage. "Kirkus Reviews"" |
