This book is in french, and I have it from being a kid. It would only work as a book in a multi-language school or maybe as a tool to learn a foriegn language, but I could just translate it myself as I'm reading it. It is about a little boy in southern France who lived along in a little house. He had to take care of himself and do everything a mother would do. One day, he decides to go out and find a mother, he is tired of working. After many false attempts, a sweet short haired woman takes him home to be his mother. He is now a happy member of a family, with a mom and dad. I think this is really cute book since this little boy has to do all the things a parent does. He even wears grown up clothes. It is really cute. He even puts a diaper on himself. You sort of fall in love with the wise little boy. He is so wise he knows he needs a mother and so he packs his bags one day and goes on a search to find one.
This would be a fun book to read with kids and might even spark a little thankfulness in kids when they see a boy doing all the things their mother's do. The kids might think: what if that was me? Phew, good thing I have a mom!
