Customer Reviews

Nicholas is so much fun to read

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!!

Great Series for my 10 year old

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!

un livre fantastique!

If you know some French, even just a little bit, then you should not miss this book! 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. The Petit Nicolas books are helpful for those learning or brushing up on French. I'd say that anyone who has completed a French class in high school or college should have enough knowledge of the language to appreciate this book. If you're one of those like me who has forgotten a lot of French, then I recommend reading it with a French dictionary handy...it is worth the effort! Recommended highly for those who like to laugh and have at least a basic reading knowledge of French.

You will laugh your head off and never want to put it down!

This book is by far the best book in the "Le Petit Nicolas" series. It humorously captures all of the little (and big) things that make travelling with children such a tiring and hilarious adventure. The funniest chapter is called "La Plage, c'est chouette" and I have never laughed so hard as when I read the chapter. The vocab wasn't too tricky and I would recommend this book to anyone learning French or anyone who knows French. C'est tres interessant, et moi, je l'aime. Et je pense que vous allez aimer "Les vacances du Petit Nicolas"! Achetez-le aujourd'hui! Buy it today!

An absolutely hilarious book.

This is a wonderful collection of humorous stories about Nicolas and his friends while he is on vacation. Set at a hotel and then a summer camp, Sempe and Goscinny managed to continue the success of the other Petit Nicolas series. The French isn't very complex, so this is a good book to read while you are learning.
