  <default_description>A priori, le petit Nicolas est un enfant comme les autres. Pourtant, le r&#233;cit de ses aventures n'en finit pas de surprendre par le nombre de b&#234;tises que lui et sa petite bande de copains d&#233;clenchent en permanence ! Et il faut &#234;tre dr&#244;lement patient et avoir beaucoup de m&#233;rite, comme sa ma&#238;tresse ou ses parents, pour vivre avec un pareil petit diable ! &lt;P&gt;Aucun adulte ne semble pouvoir r&#233;sister &#224; Nicolas et ses copains, Agnan le chouchou, ou Eudes le costaud, ni le photographe de l'&#233;cole, ni l'inspecteur en personne, ni m&#234;me le directeur ou le pauvre surveillant, M. Bouillon. Bref, le petit Nicolas et toute sa bande s&#232;ment un joyeux d&#233;sordre et une belle zizanie partout o&#249; ils passent. &lt;P&gt;L'&#233;criture, proche du langage oral, rehausse le comique des situations et l'on ne peut s'emp&#234;cher de rire lorsqu'on &#233;coute le petit Nicolas raconter ses multiples aventures, avec la na&#239;vet&#233; et la candeur d'un enfant qui semble ne pas tr&#232;s bien saisir l'importance de tous ses actes et les r&#233;actions qu'ils entra&#238;nent aupr&#232;s des adultes. De bonnes rigolades en perspective, m&#234;me si la sp&#233;cificit&#233; de cet humour n&#233;cessite quelquefois l'explication des grands ! &lt;I&gt;--Xavier Marciniak&lt;/I&gt; </default_description>
