Book Reviews of Le Petit Nicolas (French Edition)
Book Review: a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Le Petit Nicolas is an excellent book. The stories are memorable and adorable. Readers of all ages can enjoy this book to its fullest extent. As a french student, I have often despised french books geared towards American students with corny simplified french containing close to no plot line. This book is perfect for all learners of french no matter what level, because though it is simple, learners can experience genuine french writing. This book is wonderfully written, capturing the true tone and essence of youth and childhood and the stories will be remembered, reread and loved forever.Book Review: This is a really great book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a girl of 11 years and I considere this book as one of the best that I have read. Nicolas is a boy more or less of 10 years and the most part of the time he spends it with all his school friends. He hates girls, but when her mother invited a friend, and she went with her daughter he became crazy about her. Alcestes, Rufo, Clotario and Majencio are only some boys of all the gang of friends. They pass many adventures playing football, to the cowboys and many other things. If you are a kid or you have them, be sure this book will like it very much, and also and adult can enjoy itBook Review: Adorable and funny, a must-have!

I bought this for my French class a few years back. I love the French language but to be honest it's not the easiest and I forgot about half the things I learned, haha! But I still find myself picking this book up and reading it all the time. It's not for beginners, but the way it is written makes it easy to follow. You can just have a basic dictionary with you for vocabulary words and you're good to go! The stories about the little schoolboy Nicolas and his classmates are so cute, and the illustrations go perfectly with them. Any French fanatic should have this in their library!Book Review: Very funny

There is no better way to improve your French than by reading this book (and the entire series). Shortly after meeting my fiancee (a French speaker) I began learning French. We would read this book together...it was a wonderful experience. The story is hillarious and it is not too difficult (I read it without too much trouble after having lived in Geneva for about a month). This series is written in every day language, so you will pick up lots of phrases that you wouldn't learn in a class or in an "adult" book. If you like to laugh, I am sure you will love this book.Book Review: this town ain't big enough for the two of us

Bought this to develop French reading skills. It's a kids' book, of course, and I'm a grown-up, but it absolutely cracks me up. Each chapter is a little short story following Nicolas and his gang of friends. Imagine Our Gang or Peanut, but in French, and ten times funnier because of the cultural incongruity. Nothing like reading a chapter before lights out and stumbling across, "Bouge pas, Oklahoma Kid!", "Tu le regretteras, Joe!" And the tiny little cartoons that go along with the story -- cracks me up!
