Le Petit Nicolas (Le Petit Nicolas #1)
I picked this out as a classic beginning French book to read/translate with my daughter while we have been living in Paris. It was obviously a little outdated because it was written in the 50s -- Nicholas and his friends are always insulting each other and beating each other up on the playground. Probably is a better book for a 12-year-old boy, but we got a good laugh from the funny scuffles and mischievous antics!
I judged a book by its spine and chose this book off the shelf at the library!This is a book originally written in French which has been translated into English. It's told in the point-of-view of a little boy, probably about seven years old. He gets into a ton of funny situations and he is always in trouble and fighting with his friends.This is like the French version of Junie B. Jones, in that both of the books have a very authentic kid voice! This book was funny, and it really sounded like a
I found myself laughing out loud several times while reading this book! I also found myself reading it out loud to anyone in my family who would listen. It gave me a glimpse into the mind of my boy and my overgrown boy (husband). So if you want to kind of see how your 7ish year old boy (and his friends) think, read this hilarious book! Sooo cute.
I read this book to review for the library I work at, and I seriously just pulled it off the shelf because I liked the way the cover looked. It's about a young French boy, Nicholas, and his school friends. It's written in first-person as Nicholas, and what I found particularly endearing was the way the sentences read as though they were really written by a seven year old. They run on, but are clear to understand. Each chapter is like a short story or an individual episode, and his reactions to
I started reading this with my French tutor last fall, but I finally got around to finish all of the episodes. There are laugh-out-loud moments in this book, but I was especially stunned by all of the violence in it. I didn't catch that so much the last time I read a Petit Nicolas book. I guess little kids are like that, but it was strange. Great, though, especially if you're looking for a enjoyable book that isn't too hard in French.
