Book Reviews of The Little Prince
Book Review: The Little Prince
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been reading the "The Little Prince" to my children ages 44, 42, 36,28 and 24 since they were children. I now have a new audience of 21 grandchildren to read to. I have just recently become aware of other works by Antoine de Saint-Exupery and will certainly enjoy them also. I believe all children should read "The Little Prince". Book Review: Heart sees what the eyes cannot.
Summary: 5 Stars
What is invisible is the most important. I never read this book as a child. Reading it for the first time as an adult, I must say that I'm very impressed and I recommend this as required reading for everyone!Book Review: Missing its flavor
Summary: 1 Stars
I feel that this version lost too much of its original flavor and poetry; it strayed far too away from the original French version. In essence, I find that that makes a book almost meaningless. It's like serving the best main course dinner you could possible imagine yet only to realize there isn't a morsel of salt. Sure, the food could look good, but the taste is another story.
I find the translation by Katherine Woods much more satisfying

Summary: 5 Stars
The Little Prince, written by Antoine De Saint Exupery, deserves five stars.
The Little Prince is from another planet where he lives a very simple life. Every day he combs out his volcanoes, waters his flower and watches the sunset. One day he decides to visit earth and has many experiences with what we take for granted. While the story is entertaining and child-like, the message delivered to the reader with each encounter teaches the reader many life lessons. The Little Prince tells about the importance of friendship and real happiness.
The Little Prince gets five stars because it was a great book. The book did not get bogged down with complicated, adult ideas. The book took a simple approach to what really matters most in life. The Little Prince sees the world through child like eyes. He is always questioning people and getting to the main uncomplicated ideas of life. The Little Prince teaches many lessons. The book teaches about love, friendship and true happiness. It also teaches to not take things for granted. The Little Prince is a five star book because it is not only meant to be a children's book, but also an adult's book.
If you like this book, I would also recommend reading The Precious Present by Spencer Johnson. I am a 7th grade student at Harris Road.
