Le Petit Nicolas Rex English Translation Full Official

Sometimes searchers land on French-English bilingual editions. While excellent for learners, these are typically not a "full" English-only story. They present the French on one page and the English on the other. This is great for study but not for a pure reading experience.

Translated from Le Petit Nicolas by René Goscinny

Today was a very bad day. It began very early. I woke up late. My mother had already made my bed, and my cat, Félix, was sitting on my chest. He was a pretty mean cat. He always woke me up by hitting my face with his paw.

When I got dressed, I realized I had a big hole in my favorite socks. My mom said she would sew them, but I didn't want her to. I like wearing socks with holes; it's more fun. le petit nicolas rex english translation full

At school, things got even worse. Mr. Blondel, our teacher, asked us to write a story about our vacation. I wrote about my trip to the seaside, but I accidentally wrote with my left hand because my right hand was still holding my pencil case. So, my writing looked terrible. When I showed it to Mr. Blondel, he frowned and said I must practice.

At recess, I played soccer with my friends. I kicked the ball, but it went into the next classroom through the window. Mr. Blondel got very angry. He said I was as clumsy as a monkey.

When I got home, I told my mom everything. She listened and then she smiled. She said tomorrow would be a better day. I hope she's right. For accurate and full translations, I recommend consulting
