Reading Breakfast for Babe the Baby Elephant to your children or grandchildren may just awaken in them that spark of artistic curiosity that we are born with. This adorable story about a baby elephant will captivate both child and adult. A child's imagination can bring life to the comic scenes. They can step right inside. Somehow we lose that ability as we grow up. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to see things through a child's eyes? That's why these wonderful comics that author Julia M Busch painstakingly recreates can be read over and over again. I have my favorite scenes and I find myself just staring at one page for a while. In this comic, my favorite scene is when Babe sticks her trunk through the boy's bedroom window as the boy rubs the sleep from his eyes. Now what six year old boy wouldn't want to wake up and see an elephant at his window?This book is also a kind of tribute to an amazing artist. It's the subtle details that bring the characters to life; the bend of the cranky farmer's back as he leans on his shotgun, the handlebar mustache on the elephant keeper. Everything comes together perfectly in this wonderful piece of historic and artistic fun. I highly recommend this book for you and your inner child (plus any real children in your life).
