In my very first French class, the students were required to read Petit Nicolas <\/em>by Jean-Jacques Semp\u00e9 and Ren\u00e9 Goscinny. \u00a0That was the beginning of my love affair with these French stories about a young schoolboy who gets into all sorts of mischief (un \u00e9colier \u00e0 malice<\/em>), his friends and family, all told through the little boy’s eyes. \u00a0I also have Joachim a des ennuis<\/em>, which continues with the adventures of petit Nicolas<\/em>. \u00a0I recommend these books to any beginning French student as they are easy to read, yet full of interesting new vocabulary. \u00a0Each book is divided into very amusing, short stories about the adventures of the Bande des Vengeurs (Vengeful Gang). \u00a0There’s <\/span>Un souvenir qu’on va ch\u00e9rir (A souvenir to cherish), which is all about the difficult task of reigning in the kids for the class picture. \u00a0There’s <\/span>Les cowboys where Nicolas invites his friends over to play cowboys, they get into all sorts of fights and trouble and when Nicolas’ father starts to scold them, he ends up playing too and getting tied to a tree. \u00a0Then, there’s La visite de M\u00e9m\u00e9<\/em><\/span> where Nicolas’ grandmother, who is a bit mischievous herself, comes to stay and his father has to sleep on the sofa and suffers in other ways because of his annoying mother-in-law<\/span>. \u00a0There are many of these hilarious shorts stories and best of all, the little cartoon pictures that accompany them are adorable and humorous at the same time.<\/span><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

Anyone who has read the books or anyone who reads the books now can answer the questions below:
\n1. Comment s’appelle le petit fr\u00e8re de Joachim?
\n2. C’est quoi la profession du p\u00e8re de Rufus?
\n3. Qui est le chouchou de la ma\u00eetresse?<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

On attend vos r\u00e9ponses… \u00a0Bonne lecture!<\/em><\/p>\n
