My First Book: A Babar Baby Journal

Sarah Kennedy, Abrams, Nelvana. ABRAMS, $19.95 (110pp) ISBN 978-0-8109-4934-8

On the theory that no child is ever too young for Babar, the character created by Jean de Brunhoff and carried on by his son, Laurent de Brunhoff, debuts in My First Book: A Babar Baby Journal, with two pockets for keepsakes, a family tree, and plenty of prompts for filling in pleasingly designed square pages. Polka dots, soft pastel colors and the peppy pachyderm himself decorate the interiors of this paper-over-board volume. .
