This summer, the Jean brothers, already familiar to us from other books in the series "The Adventures of the Family from Cherbourg", go on vacation to the sea, to the hotel "Scarlet Rocks". The program includes: a secret expedition around the hotel during nap time, a unique performance by the circus "Pipolo", and, of course, the famous cycling race "Tour de France", which the Jean brothers will finally see with their own eyes. Dangerous adventures, wild laughter and pillow fights - the vacation promises to be unforgettable, especially for parents ... The author of this book, Frenchman Jean-Philippe Arroux-Vigneaud, is one of the six Jean brothers we will talk about. Or, more precisely, Jean B., the second eldest. Since childhood, Arroux-Vigneau loved to read. In 1984, he published his first "adult" novel, for which he received the "Best Debut" award, and a few years later he released his second book - a children's book. Today, Arroux-Vigneau, the author of about thirty books, is in charge of the children's literature department at the largest independent French publishing house, Gallimard. He created his series, "The Adventures of the Cherbourg Family," so beloved by children and parents in France, together with the famous illustrator Dominique Corbason, whose works can be seen on the pages of such magazines as Cosmopolitan, Madame Figaro and Vanity Fair. In spirit, "The Adventures of the Cherbourg Family" is reminiscent of the famous "Little Nicolas" by René Goscinny and Jean-Jacques Sampe: the heroes of "The Family" are the same cheerful, restless boys who are always trying to do something mischievous. The publishing house "CompassGid" has already published three books about the Jean brothers - "Omelette with Sugar," "Flying Cheese" and "Goldfish Soup." Chocolate Holidays (2009) is the fourth book in the series.
