Elementary school student Nicolas and his classmates are real innocent children. Sometimes they may be a bit lively, a bit unresponsive, but there can be no doubt that they have good intentions. However, the teacher is constantly angry, the supervising teacher grabs her head, the photographer runs away before taking a class photo of them, the principal thinks it's better to lock the whole class in the laundry room for the duration of the minister's visit. Who understand this? Little Nicolas is just daydreaming: how come everyone wants good, yet things always get messed up? In any case, they are not at all wrong, this is evident from the first volume of the classic book series of the popular French author couple, the writer Goscinny and the creator of humorous drawings, Sempé.
