I appreciate a kid's book that facilitates analytical thought. Asking thought-provoking questions such as “What belongings really make you happy?” makes the book more than just a fun picture book. I have no attachment to The Little Prince but I thought it was adorable and a good book to encourage critical thinking!

This new retelling of The Little Prince with the beautiful, classic illustrations by Saint-Exupery, is a perfect book for today. Each of the people that The Little Prince meets on his journey provide lessons on how not to live ones life. Short, simple and straightforward, children will be drawn into the images (even glow in the dark stars) while learning how to be people who do not place self first. Included are simple questions after each encounter. A beautiful gift for any child on your list and one they will refer back to as adults.

This is a short little children's book which is a retelling of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic novella, which is celebrating it's 80th anniversary. The Little Prince travels to different planets, and on each planet, he meets people who he finds strange, but he learns valuable lessons from meeting these people. For example, he meets a King, who gives absurd orders and only wishes to please himself. The Little Prince realises that this is not a good way to be, and that if you want to be a leader, you must be useful and responsible. He also realises at the end of the book what is really important in life.
My daughter and I enjoyed this book, which has nice graphics, but some of them were a little bit scary for my daughter. However, we really loved the messages brought forth, which were full of wisdom. I would have liked the book to be longer, as we were enjoying it so much. I would like to read more books like this in the future.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

A short little didactic book that takes a few snapshots out of the classic The Little Prince, and offers moral explanations based on them for young children. Through the strange people met by the little prince on his travels across different planets, the author explains human vices like vanity, desire for power or wealth, etc. and emphasises that true happiness comes from within, not from material possessions or from what others say about you. This is a decent addition to Corrine Delporte's series of short books based on The Little Prince, but like those other books, comes nowhere close to capturing the magic and perfection of Saint-Exupery's timeless classic.

The Journey of The Little Prince by Corinne Delporte, illustrated by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, translated by Carine Laforest is a good retelling for the classic one. It is so addicted and I need a sequel

While I love the little prince and this was a pleasant chance to revisit, I feel like it has sacrificed the timeless quality of the book and the story to turn it into a conversation. For young children, I think the questions asked in this retelling are good, but without the rest of the story of the Little Prince it feels more like an education book on mannners and judgement and not something to return to again and again.
I feel like it has taken the message of the little prince, and distorted it where all we experience as the readers is being told what to feel, rather than letting us interpret it ourselves.

I have always loved The Little Prince since I was a kid. It is such a beautiful story. Seeing The Journey of The Little Prince put a smile on my face. It is so beautifully illustrated. I loved that it explained the key points of the story like appearances and inner beauty to knowledge and experience. This is perfect for any child and adult who have loved the story of The Little Prince.

Thank you NetGalley and Choette Publishing for the opportunity to read this classic tale.
The Little Prince is a little traveller, journeying to meet new friends and have adventures. He meets those he likes and doesn’t. There is a lesson after each littke journey.
I liked it a bit. I did find it reminiscent of those old after school specials, and that I did not love.
Happy 80th anniversary Little Prince!

I liked the idea behind this book but it wasn’t one that really worked for me as it stands
I think that this book would need to be read with the original to get more out of it
The illustrations were really nice and worked with the story but the number are limited as the book is only really a short explanation about what goes on in the original story
It is 3 stars from me – may come back to it after reading the original story

this is like a short retelling about the original The Little Prince, but with additional explanation about some values owned by each of the man he met on each planet. it's interesting, actually. I would like to read more about this.
