Young art buffs will learn to recognize the classics and describe paintings and sculptures in this witty picture book that gives famous artworks the royal—or in this case, the elephant—treatment. When King Babar and Queen Celeste notice that the railroad station is standing empty, Celeste comes up with the idea to turn it into a museum to house their art collection. By the time the grand opening arrives, the royal couple has acquired some pretty impressive and well-known works of art—all featuring elephants, of course. Babar illustrations have never been more clever and charming than in this gallery tour, full of paintings and sculptures inspired by such real-life artworks as Mary Cassatt's "Mother and Child," Edvard Munch's "The Scream," and even Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa."
