Babar grows up in the Great Forest and learns all the things that elephants need to know. He enjoys playing games of Catch and Follow-My-Leader and cavorting with his friends in the pond where they swim around and use their long trunks to squirt each other... yes, the young elephants lead full and happy lives.
But Babar's life is about to change and he'll set off on a really big adventure.
Join us and find out what will happen to Babar and for extracts from Saint-Saëns' timeless Carnival of the Animals and for sing-along Christmas Carols.
