This is the delightfully warm and enjoyable story of an old Parisian named Armand, who relished his solitary life. Children, he said, were like starlings, and one was better off without them.But the children who lived under the bridge recognized a true friend when they met one, even if the friend seemed a trifle unwilling at the start. And it did not take Armand very long to realize that he had gotten himself ready-made family; one that he loved with all his heart, and one for whom he would have to find a better home than the bridge.Armand and the children's adventures around Paris -- complete with gypsies and a Santa Claus -- make a story which children will treasure.

It may sound odd to say that a book about a Parisian homeless man trying to keep three homeless children from being separated by their mother is charming, but it really is. Not that it's entirely unrealistic; the characters experience danger, the contempt of others, the worries of living in the open...

A heartwarming Christmas tale, short and sweet. The mother was a little crazy though, too much pride.
