One of my favorite books - very nice 'count-to-ten' book for small children.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of the famous work - "Le Petit Prince". A lovely work is from form to content. He has written a literary work with childlike appearance but containing profound and great philosophies inside, making it one of the most readworthy books in the world.The work is anout an interesting story about the journey of a little prince, with blond hair and a naive, sensitive soul to the world, he goes from planet to planet and on each planet is an interesting little story.
This book teaches me quite many things about this life. The cute prince made me think of what I am living for ?? which is my own rose ?? This world is very and very complicated . People have a lot of ways to live ...Some just only know for themselves , some are too "hợm hĩnh" :3 and some live for others ,..We can choose which one is the best for us ..... To be honestly , I read it a long time ago and I think i should read it again ><
I love The Little Prince, so I was delighted to find this board book based on the classic. Counting to five, each page focuses on things from the book, such as two red flowers and four strong birds. Elliot wasn't really interested in this one at 12 months. Will try again when he’s a bit older.
I readn this book in 6th grade because it was the last book on my teachers shelf for reading time, and im so happy it was. Personallly i am so fond of this book. It gives you a perspective on life and living in general too. It also teaches you about love, friendship, and death. I read the english translation version of this book because obviously i cant speak french let alone read it. Despite this book having pictures, the illistration is beautifull and quirky at the same time yet a little depre...
The majority of the reviews here have confused this book with the actual story The Little Prince. This counts to 5 using elements of that story. It’s a nice primer, but it seems too short compared to most other counting primers that at least go to 10.
"What is essential to the heart is invisible to the eye."The Fox is my favorite character.
You’ve got to have one or two of these basic counting books and since I had a rap obsession with Le Petit Prince when I was in high school, it was a fun choice for basic numbers.
At first, I didn’t take this book seriously. Page after another I started to relate the kinds of grownups that the little prince has met in his journey to my short experience in life. It’s amazing how the writer put serious adult issues in a book written and illustrated as a children book ; yet dedicated to grownups.P.S the story of the fox was heart touching...
Reading this book is like a ticket back to childhood.I find myself in the little prince who is keen on asking questions. But that curiosity has long gone after years focusing on subjects at school. Looking back all years so far, I feel so sad for me and for others who can not nurture our adventure spirit and dare not to learn new things.Also, each planet the prince stopped by was a true image of a person in today world. There is a lonely king governing his tiny kingdom. There is a businessman bu...
“Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is exhausting for children to have to provide explanations over and over again. That’s the way they are. You must not hold it against them. Children should be very understanding of grown-ups”
It is honestly difficult for me to rate this one fairly as I've read this French version for practice not for leisure (French is not a language I'm fluent in)So while I've understood most of the plot, there are still a number of voids which I'd like to fill by re-reading it in English before writing my review about it 🙌🏼
Thanks for this book
I really enjoyed this book, I think it's amazing social commentary that is still relevant to this day. Its portrayal of a child's mind also adds to the good things. The good vs bad is about 100 vs. 0. Although I could not completely comprehend the book as I am not fluent in French(just faking it), I still understood the main story and its message. The comparison between le petit prince and the rose/flowers is incredible and furthermore breaks gender stereotypes. How could it be better?
A charmingly delightful fairytale, and full of reasons to never grow up.
This is my favorite book that has taught me what love really means.It was a gift from my co-worker in the military: I read this French book for the first time when I was actually in Sahara Desert, and since then I've been wondering if young kids could really understand the message.The followings are my favorite lines from the book with English translations in parentheses: Scene 18>(M1: Narrator) Le petit prince traversa le desert et ne rencontra qu'une fleur. Une fleur a trois petales, une fleur...
Fantastic philosophical book which you read it again and again , and each time you find out new points. I hope all grown ups read this book to remember the simple way of living,loving and being loved.

Le Petit Prince, is not just a children's book. Adults can read and enjoy it as well. It's philosophic. Filled with beauty and melancholy.
Great full color illustrations and shiny stars. Surprise flap at the back was greatly enjoyed by Laura.
