I'm looking for kid's books for Christmas. Anyone know where I can find the brilliant series of books about the elegant and stylishly dressed elephant, Babar?

The Babar stories were reissued in 2008 by Egmont, an imprint of Penguin books. I am sure that if you asked you nice, local, independent bookshop, they would order them for you. Failing that, I can get them for you, but am rather a long way away from you for you to collect.

PS - yes, I know that you don't really want them...

Oh I do...I'll be there on Monday.

Babar's Celestville games sounds intriguing. Is it about handlebar tape?

"Babar and his family are thrilled that Celesteville is hosting the Games! This is their chance to see the best athletes from all over the world compete and to meet new people from other countries. Everyone is wide-eyed as gymnasts fly through the air, divers make a splash, and cyclists race to the finish line!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."

Sounds a bit 50 shades ish

It IS about handlebar tape!

With a bit of 50 Shades thrown in.
