Les vacances du petit Nicolas

I bought he first in the series for my own son, Nicholas. He loved it! He read the Nicholas Again, as well as Nicholas On Vacation. He says he cannot wait for the next one!!

I bought this after buying the first "Nicholas" just on a whim for my son, Nicholas. He absolutely loved it. He has read all three of the series..and there is a new one coming in the Spring...I wish there were more!

The stories are from the perspective of a mischievious young French boy, and his observations and ideas will make you roll with laughter. The stories themselves are excellent, but in my opinion it is the way they are told that makes the book a real gem of comedy.

This is a wonderful collection of humorous stories about Nicolas and his friends while he is on vacation.

The French isn't very complex, so this is a good book to read while you are learning.
