Summary

More
This is the delightfully warm story of an old Parisian named Armand who relishes his solitary life. But the children who live under the bridge recognize a true friend when they meet one, even if the friend seems a little unwilling at the start. And it doesn't take Armand very long to realize that he's wound up with a ready-made family, one he loves with all his heart and for whom he will have to find a better home than under the bridge. Armand and the children's adventures around Paris make this a story readers will treasure long after they turn the final page.
