I'm a little late for Christmas but I hope you'll still enjoy this one! The Barbapapa books were written in the 1970's. I totally remember watching the 5-minute cartoons on tv as a child. As you have probably figured out by looking at the illustrations, the Barbapapa family can change their shape. When they do so, they say 'Clickety-click, Barba-trick!' Aaaah, memories. :) Check out the official Barbapapa website here.
Amazing stuff on Pinterest, of course!
Adorable!!
Want!!
Aaaahh!!
So much cool stuff, must stop now!!
I got a Barbapapa bowl and spoon in Zara Home once, which was pretty cheap, unlike the toys, which I admired but didn't buy in a French toy shop. This book is lovely! We only have French versions (bought on camping holidays - I'm Irish) so I didn't know their names in English. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so jealous you have the bowl and spoon, Lucy!! Cool!! Happy New Year!
DeleteOh, dear. You just introduced me to something I'm unfamiliar with. They look like so much fun, I may develop a new obsession...
ReplyDeleteYay!! Glad you like Barbapapa too Danzel! They are too cute. I love all your obsessions - they are so fun! :)
DeleteI love the Barbapapa!!! What a throwback to my childhood!!! I love all the tea set so much!!! Want want want!
ReplyDeleteHi Jane! Wouldn't it be so fun if they put Barbapapa back on tv?? :)
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Barbapapa on TV with son, he was 40 this year! I will have to send him a link to your post and see if he remembers it as well as I do.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
Barbara, I hope your son remembers Barbapapa like I do!
DeleteI had the Barbapapa's New House book as kid (my parents still have our copy!) and I LOVED it. Have collected some of the others for my own kids but golly are they expensive! Wish someone would do a Barbapapa Treasury of some of the English-language editions.
ReplyDeleteThat us so cool! I found this book at a used book store 'special ' section and had to pay 17 dollars for it, waaaaaay more than I usually pay for my used books!
ReplyDeleteSomeone apparently knew this was 'special' enough if they have never heard of it before, but of course that is to be expected for something like this. If only someone cared to bring it over again (say put the cartoons on Hulu or something).
DeleteYes that would be so awesome Christopher!
DeleteI know it would.
