The Little Prince

This poem has depth and meaning, if you can see it, as the little Prince would say. I enjoyed it.

Surprisingly I had never read fully the little prince, and now that I do, I see it could either be a fantastic story for children or a deep reflection about the world for grown-ups

All good

Easy to highlight!Love the fox & his secret!“The essential things in life are invisible”!!A must read.., every couple of years!

I read this to my grade school classes years a ga9 ahn dsts8oo remember the message; I gave it to my great grandson for his birthday. A must read.

Since The Little Prince is pretty short, I finished reading it in one day. The experience reading it as an adult would definitely be different from reading it as a child, so as someone who first read this as an adult, I'll admit this book filled me with a sense of nostalgia for my childhood and more innocent days.The plot at first seems straightforward enough; the narrator meets a baffling young prince who gives him strange requests, and at first the story chronicles the prince's experience on his planet, and encountering other people on other planets, each of them an allegory for a kind of adult someone might grow to become, and most of them aren't very favourable depictions. The prince develops a friendship with the narrator, and this allows him to share his experiences of travelling with him.The language is simple enough, and the illustrations are beautiful. They reminded me of water colours, and although on my Kindle they're all in black and white, the image quality wasn't compromised. Apart from the plot, I think the main takeaway from The Little Prince is definitely the many beautiful and resonant quotes peppered throughout the book, from the fox's nuggets of wisdom to the narrator's observations of the prince.Overall, a very delightful (if also feelsy) read.

(spoiler alert) Very good book. Beautiful story. There's things in this world what you cannot see and they are most precious things. I felt if you have found something what makes you feel something in your heart, don't let it go. If you let it go you have all flovers, all roses and they are all similar. If you have a flower which makes you feel something inside in your heart, it's everything. .. I feel also very sad. A lamb could eat that flower if you think is not anymore so precious. Love is something what you can lost, if you lost it, you can see only similar roses, empty shells.. It's tragedy if a lamb will eat your rose. Ah, beauty is something what you cannot see. All roses are so beautiful but if you find a rose what makes your heart feeling love, it's the rose.

The pop-up art in this edition is fantastic. On some pages it is static while other pages are movable via tabs. Still others pop out in the more traditional way when the page is opened. The variety of the way the pop up art is "paper engineered" adds to the childlike wonder when viewing the world that is at the heart of this classic tale. It is almost as if the Little Prince himself designed them!So why must I give this book less than 5 stars? The new Howard translation manages to take the poetic wonder of the original and reduce it to a "grown up" version devoid of much of the magic in Katherine Woods' translation. Not having the proficiency needed to read it in the original language I can not be certain if what I loved as a child and learn from again and again as I grow older is there in the words that Antoine de Saint-Exupery penned. I strongly suspect that it is, as the story has been loved by people from almost countless cultures reading in numerous languages. The Woods version, published as the official English translation for the first 55 years or so after Saint-Exupery completed the French original, certainly conveys a poetic sense of wonder that is lacking in the newer Howard account. When I ordered this edition several months ago the description stated the text was the full, unedited translation by Woods. It appears Amazon has since corrected this oversight. I'm sure I was not the only person disappointed when the book arrived to discover the text was Howard's instead of Woods' translation.If you've read the Woods translation already I can recommend this edition on the strength of the pop up art. If you have not read The Little Prince I would recommend you find a used copy of the Woods translation or look for it online.
