Babar perdeu a mãe quando era apenas um bebê. Uma história com esse início trágico pode interessar a alguma criança? Pode, dependendo do modo como for contada e de como continua, e é esse o caso das narrativas de Jean de Brunhoff. Babar perde a mãe, mas depois ganha amigos, conhece a cidade, socializa-se, retorna a seu mundo, torna-se rei, casa-se, enfrenta perigos e se salva, porque, a despeito da tragédia, há todo um mundo para ser vivido, explorado e refeito. São histórias que delineiam uma metáfora sutil da entrada das crianças na vida real.
