Babar's family is on a visit to the country. While there, the young ones organize a picnic, during which they have an adventure involving a tribe of African natives.
Please Note:
The Babar books are definitely products of their time. Both Jean and his son Laurent portray "French" colonialism in a positive light and in this book, Laurent's stereotypical images of African "savages" may well offend readers. Also, if you have a hard time reading cursive, this story's text is completely in that style!
