This sounds like an interesting children's book. Sadly I'm not willing to pay $30USD for it, though on the France Amazon site it's listed as somewhere around 2 EUR. Here's the summary and the link:

Subject: The children Barouf are naughty children who do not obey, break everything and are very noisy. One solution for their parents is to invent Frappel, a horrible stinking slipper giving spankings at the slightest mistake. The slipper forces the little devils to be good as angels. How to get rid of it? The children will try to eliminate him, but Frappel is intelligent, clever and wicked. After several attempts, it is finally the father who takes him back in exchange for promises to be good.
