review 1: This is a wonderfully illustrated book, of a time gone by. Its about a postman who gets fired and becomes "The Mighty Lalouche" a prized fighter, but all he really wants to be is a postman, live in a little apartment with his little finch named Genevieve and have a view outside his window and deliver mail. This little book gave me insight to a little bit of history when at one time Paris had spaceship looking cars that were supposed to making delivery of mail faster. This book grabbed my heart. It does have fighting involved. Some parents may not appreciate that part, however i found it harmless
review 2: The illustrations in this book make it great! The Mighty LaLouche is a mailman who loses his job in Paris at the turn of the century. His job is lost becaus... moree the post office just bought a fleet of automobiles. He must find work and becomes a fighter. His small size surprises his opponents and he turns out to be more agile than the bigger men he fights. In the end, he once again becomes a postal worker (the cars didn't work out so well) and all is well for LaLouche. less
