I have no idea! I didn't even know it existed until I saw it in the local bar last week (yes, it was in the bar, and my brother in law was reading it! I'll have to ask him)
Sarah, how i have missed you on this month absence i have taken! Thanks i'm so proud of my self, i've wanted this job for like 2 years and FINALLY got it.
Love the book, i might have to say that im a fan of the Whodunnit?? maybe i need to find a french pal to convert me? ;)
What?! You all don´t know this book? lol It´s so funny, roll on the floor funny. I remember reading it to my son when he was little, I have the German original somewhere in my basement. I love it, it´s about animal poop and revenge. The illustrations are hillarious. Go buy it today xxx
I'm so glad you found my blog so that I could find yours. Love it!! The books titles cracked me up! Can't wait to catch up on your adventures in France, a place I've always dreamed of visiting. My cousin studied abroad this past Spring, spent 6-weeks in Paris and said it was one of the most gorgeous places he's ever seen. Fingers crossed that I can get there someday soon!
I find it interesting that my grandkids (2 through 4 years old) who I regret to say don't know French yet love the books equally when I read it to them in French or English.
It's Bec's comment that sticks in my mind. I can understand (and can completely visualise) her... "cackling with laughter like a mad woman right now" but still wonder why her question has gone unanswered?
So, once again (with amplification)...
1). Why, prey tell, is your brother-in-law reading this particular book?
1) If you knew my brother-in-law you'd understand. It's the only answer I can give. He's like a 26 year old school boy. I just wish I had taken a photo of his smile when he was reading it. He was thoroughly enjoying it!
2) The book was actually in the bar. The new bar owner has setup a kind of library. For some reason, it is one of the books stacked on the shelves (Le Petit Village is a strange place)
3) You're confusing Brother-in-Law with Honey B. Brother-in-Law isn't married... yet
Could you ask Brother in Law to get married so as to clear up any confusion (and it'd make a great blog post so you could kill two birds with one stone, as it were?)
A pooh-pooh post and it's not even 7am!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed!
All the best

I know this book! It's one of my favourite children's books. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI know the german and english version.
ReplyDeleteI remember this book when I use to read to my children.
ReplyDeleteI don't know this book but I'm dying to know....
ReplyDeleteWho crapped on poor Mole's head?
I have no idea! I didn't even know it existed until I saw it in the local bar last week
ReplyDelete(yes, it was in the bar, and my brother in law was reading it! I'll have to ask him)
That is priceless and just how I feel today!!

ReplyDeleteWhat?! You all don´t know this book? lol

AHAHAHA! Thanks for making me laugh this morning. I love translations!
ReplyDeleteTalk about a Year in the Merde...Sarah, thanks for the tip on Bistro Romain - I am so there

ReplyDeleteNever heard of it before :-)
ReplyDelete1. Cackling with laughter like a mad woman right now. That book title made my day.
ReplyDelete2. Why, prey tell, is your brother-in-law reading this particular book? In a bar??? Please explain.
The French: telling it like it is.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. Now I must find this in Italian!
ReplyDelete"Il 'Mole' piccolo che vorrebbe sapere chi ha cagato sul capo?"
I adore this book and my daughters too ! French is certainly the best concerning the tittle!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, les Français sont si sophistiqués...
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this is hilarious!! I love it! Haha.
ReplyDeleteDang. I'd be mad too. And what a theme for a children's book!

ReplyDeleteSo, once again (with amplification)...
1). Why, prey tell, is your brother-in-law reading this particular book?
2). In a bar???
3). A mere week after his wedding??????
Please, please, please explain.
Before I die of terminal curiosity!
All the best

Now go and pour yourself a pastis.
I wonder if there's a Dutch one....
ReplyDeleteHugs
Erna
That is too funny :)
ReplyDeleteOmigosh this just made my day! I wonder what "Goodnight Moon" is going to read like in French?
ReplyDeleteHow typical! Leave it to the French to not mess around with wordy, complicated titles. Cut to the chase...literally! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing out loud right now! That's so awesome. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCould you ask Brother in Law to get married so as to clear up any confusion (and it'd make a great blog post so you could kill two birds with one stone, as it were?)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!
