Rex – Le petit Nicholas.

René Goscinny was a French comics editor and writer of Polish descent, who is
best known internationally for the comic book Astérix. He also authored a series of
children's books known as "Le Petit Nicolas" series.
Le Petit Nicolas (Little Nicholas) is a series of French children's books. It was
created by René Goscinny and illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempé and it was first
published on March 29, 1959. The books depict an idealized version of childhood
in 1950s France.
The books are told from the point of view of Nicolas himself, which gives the book
a distinct and personal sense of humor. The narration is childish storytelling, with
run-on sentences and schoolyard slang used in abundance, and much of the humor
derives from Nicolas' misunderstanding of adults' behavior. At the same time,
adults are as much a target of the book's satire as children, as the straightforward
and uncomplicated worldview of the child narrator exposes the flaws of adult
perception. This subversive element in Le petit Nicolas made it an early example
of modern children's literature that is centered on the experience of the child's
interpretation of the world, rather than an adult's.
