A delightful collection of children's stories written by Arnaud Berquin and translated into English from the original French by Charles Welsh. The French version of this work was titled, 'L'Ami des Enfants', and was hugely successful, gaining Berquin recognition and success. The stories featured consist of everyday situations which occur in children's lives. Their emphasis on family and structure helped gain popularity for the concept of the nuclear family. 32 pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear.
