Phaidon Press as Nicholas. Four further volumes followed from Phaidon, as Nicholas Again, Nicholas on Holiday (Nicholas on Vacation in North America), Nicholas and the Gang, and finally Nicholas in Trouble in 2008. In this version, M. Dubon (nicknamed "le Bouillon") becomes Mr. Goodman (nicknamed "Old Spuds"). He derives his nickname from his habit of repeating constantly: "Look me in the eye." In French broth (bouillon) has eyes (blobs of fat on the surface), in the English version they become potato eyes. In the story 'Djodjo', the English exchange student George becomes a Belgian named Jochen, and his nickname is changed from "Djodjo" to "Yocky". Another English translation of Le petit Nicolas, with the title The Chronicles of Little Nicholas, was published in New York by Farrar, Straus Giroux in 1993. The translator is not named in this edition; the copyright page attributes copyright for the translation to Farrar, Straus & Giroux. Nicholas was the subject of a Mildred L. Batchelder Honour for translated children's books in 2006 given by the Association for Library Services to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association, and Nicholas and the Gang received the same honour in 2008 English books The Chronicles of Little Nicholas (Le petit Nicolas) Young Nicolas (Le petit Nicolas) Nicholas Again (Les récrés du petit Nicolas) Nicholas on Holiday or Nicholas on Vacation (USA and Canada) (Les vacances du petit Nicolas) Nicholas and the Gang (Le petit Nicolas et les copains) Nicholas in Trouble (Le petit Nicolas a des ennuis) Adaptations Little Nicholas (Le Petit Nicolas), 2009 film Le Petit Nicolas, 2009 animated TV series Nicholas on Holiday (Les Vacances du Petit Nicolas), 2014 film , 2021 film Little Nicholas: Happy As Can Be (), 2022 animated film External links Official site Official site of René Goscinny Rotten Tomatoes IMDb Amazon Video Listing References French children's novels 1959 novels Book series introduced in 1959 French comic strips 1956 comics debuts 1959 comics endings Child characters in comics Child characters in literature Male characters in comics Male characters in literature Comedy literature characters Fictional French people Humor comics Slice of life comics French novels adapted into films French comics adapted into films Children's books adapted into films Comics adapted into novels Comics adapted into animated series Comics adapted into television series Children's books adapted into television shows French novels adapted into television shows Works by René Goscinny Comics set
