Fun, funny ( )

Very cute and charming, plus the illustrations are so cute. It was the just the break I needed right now. ( )

La vida en el colegio supone una etapa importante y frecuentemente accidentada en la pequeña historia de cualquier persona, y Nicolás no es una excepción: conocerá a nuevos compañeros con los que pasará los mejores ratos, exceptuando, claro está, el trágico día d ela entrega de los boletines de notas...

What a delightful book for kids-written about 50 years ago by the author of the Asterix comics-boy is it funny! Sometimes parents at the library where I work will ask about male equivalents to Junie B Jones. While I don't think it's fair to compare these two-I would say that kids who like Junie B will probably like Nicholas. And it's good fun for adults who just want something light and silly to pick up and put down easily (the chapters are only a few pages long each). The author has a way with words that makes me giggle with every page, and the drawings are truly hilarious. ( )

El pequeño Nicolás se lo pasa en grande en el colegio con sus amigos -Alcestes, Agnan, Eudes, Clotario, Godofredo, Rufo, Joaquín y María Eduvigis-. Siempre está dispuesto a armar líos. Pero no todo va a ser felicidad: ¡se acerca el día de la entrega de notas!
