Summary: 5 Stars
A children's book for all ages. The story is told by the narrator, who meets the Little Prince in the Sahara Desert. While the narrator is there because of a plane crash, the Little Prince is there on a journey. The narrator records the story he hears from the Little Prince, of his travels to other planets and of meeting a king, conceited man, drunk, business man, lamp lighter and geographer, before coming to planet Earth. On planet Earth, he climbs a mountain and hears his voice as an echo, much like the bear in "Happy Birthday Moon," a later publication written by Frank Asch, 1988, Simon and Schuster Books For Young Readers. He meets a snake, tames a fox, and sees roses similar to his special flower back home. The fox teaches the prince that, "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." (p.73) Antoine De Saint-Exupery accompanies his writing with his own pen and watercolor drawings. Entries are written somewhat as a diary, and illustrations depict: the prince, planets, people and animals he encounters during his travels. The book illustrates how children view the world entirely differently from less curious adults. It forces one to consider the importance of the intangibles in one's life.Book Review: Ageless underlying philosophy, logic and perceptions.
Summary: 5 Stars
A workful art of prose and innocence, blended with acts of courage, charm, wonder and grace. An perpetuate volume in its ability to illicit thought and logical reason from readers of all ages. The very base of philosophic logic and ponderance abounds throughout the simple verbage.Book Review: An excellent tale for children and adults alike!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, originally focused for a younger generation of readers, can also apply to the lives of us, older readers.Book Review: An heirloom of a book
Summary: 5 Stars
Some books you read once, and then never pick up the book again. This book is one that gets better and more applicable with each reading. I enjoyed it as a child, but I learned from it reading it in college. It is a book that I would take genuine pleasure in reading to my (future) children and passing on to them.
