Bookroo's summary

In Celesteville, Babar and Celeste welcome triplets, but little Alexander's knack for trouble keeps the king on edge. From treetop adventures to crocodile chases, can Babar manage the chaos of parenthood?

From the publisher

Such joy in Celesteville! Babar and Celeste have had triplets. The smallest, Alexander, has a knack for getting into predicaments. Between getting stuck in the treetops and being chased by a crocodile, he certainly keeps Babar on his toes, but the king readily admits, -Truly it is not easy to bring up a family, but how nice the babies are!- The fifth Babar story is a wonderful and heartwarming salute to parenthood which every Mom and Dad will appreciate.
