This is a good introduction to The Little Prince. It is essentially a synopsis version of the novella that focuses on the moral of the stories of each of the men on other planets.

I absolutely adored "The Journey of The Little Prince" by Corinne Delporte, a captivating retelling of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's timeless classic. This beautifully crafted adaptation, suitable for children aged 5 and up, retains the original charm while sparkling with new life. Delporte's narrative is engaging, simple, and profound, making it accessible to young readers.

The innovative design, featuring glow-in-the-dark stars, adds a captivating touch, enhancing the reading experience. Vibrant illustrations beautifully complement the story, bringing the Little Prince's adventures to life. Timeless themes of friendship, love and self-discovery remain at the heart of this classic tale.

This delightful adaptation is a must-read for children and adults alike, celebrating the wisdom and innocence of childhood while fostering curiosity and empathy. I highly recommend it for early readers, parents, educators and fans of the original classic seeking a fresh perspective. Delporte's retelling honors Saint-Exupéry's legacy, introducing his beloved character to a new generation.

Doesn't quite have the same charm as the original and comes off as preachy but cute illustrations and a good enough story makes up for it.

This was okay, but it felt suspiciously AI-generated to me. I will unfortunately not be recommending this book to my patrons, as it felt bland and I did not find it engaging. I do not think the provocation questions are suitable for the age range the title is aimed at, and it just fell flat for me.

I love The Little Prince and this book is a bite-size retelling with clearer information on each interaction on the journey.

I loved the clarity, but I am not sure which age group this would be good for. If it is for younger audiences, the sentence structures might be a bit confusing. But all in all, it is great work!

Life Experiences

The Little Prince really helps readers see the negatives that stand put and also addresses the gaps. I feel this book is versatile for individuals or groups. It offers context to have greater conversations about qualities of a person and actions.

The illustrations have you traveling alongside the Prince as he is presented these different men.

I received a free copy of this book from Corinne Delporte and Chouette Publishing. I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

This was cute. It felt a little disjointed and possibly incomplete? But overall my kids and I enjoyed it. I liked the little prompts to get them talking and thinking and communicating with me.

As a children’s book to introduce the ideas of The Little Prince, this adaptation falls short. Perhaps as a classroom or family read-aloud it could stimulate the intended thinking and conversation. However, it doesn’t really adapt the story but expounds on tge idea’s like a textbook. It dilutes the childlike beauty of the original.

This beloved classic is delightfully reimagined for younger readers. Gentle yet engrossing, Corinne's storytelling captures the essence of the original while making it approachable for a younger audience.

The illustrations, inspired by timeless art, are stunning. Every page feels like a work of art, bringing the story’s whimsical world to life in vibrant detail. From the sweeping deserts to the starry skies, the visuals transport readers into the heart of the Little Prince’s adventures.

This adaptation extracts the essence of the original’s themes (love, friendship, and the importance of seeing with one’s heart) into a format that is simple enough for children yet still resonates deeply with adults. The translation by Carine Laforest is seamless, preserving the lyrical quality of the writing style.

Whether you’re introducing the story to a young reader or revisiting it yourself, this book is a treasure. It’s a testament to the enduring magic of this beloved tale and a joy to experience in this new form.

I do not think this story needs a retelling. This is a dry version of the story with unnecessary explanations on every other page.

Cute redoing of the Little Prince, telling how the Prince goes on an adventure and shows and questions children to see if they would do the same as the adults in the book, while teaching children not to be bossy to appease themselves, being vain is not a way to live or that wealth does not make one happy

This book did a great job of providing a synopsis of the Little Prince. It makes a great little gift for early readers but pales in comparison to the original text.

So cute! I love how the creators of this book decided to take a classic book and make it into a (more) comprehensive book for kids. I loved reading The Little Prince, and I am glad that someone made it into a more concise version for younger readers so that they can enjoy the story as well, and also learn from its teachings. The teachings were pushed even further onto readers with in this book because on each page there were two elements:
1. Summary of each planet. The author took the main idea from each page and summarized it in a clearly defined way that was easy-to-understand. Additionally, the author used a variety of new and familiar words, which means that this book can also help to expand vocabularies.
2. Thought-provoking questions. After each summary, the author asked 1-2 questions relating to each planet that readers can think about. These questions were simple enough while still being productive, and made a lot of sense.
Lastly, I adored how the creators of this book decided to use all of the original illustrations from the book. This allows the book to be fresh but still maintain its roots, which was a beautiful mix for this book.
Bravo!

The book by Corinne Delporte is a concise and simplified version of the 80-year-old classic novella written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in 1943. It dives directly into the people the little prince encounters such as the vain man, the king, the businessman and the geographer. Each meeting is followed by questions that prompt reflection in little kids such as why do people desire excessive praise, what is true happiness etc.

Sadly, the book ends rather abruptly and falls short in its essence. There’s no denouement and I think the author could’ve done much more with a timeless classic such as this which has made readers weep over the years.

Just read the original instead of this shortened, readers guide version. The illustrations remain gorgeous, as always

Absolutely precious! I love the original story of the Little Prince so this was a wonderful retelling summed up for younger kids!

A re-telling of The Little Prince story to mark 80 years since its original publication.

My copy was an advanced reader’s copy, thanks to NetGalley. I understand the books you can hold in your hands will have glow in the dark stars. And so they should for this is a magical book.

Not a conventional story book for children, although all the usual elements are here. Simple and fun illustrations and clear text delivering a story of adventure and discovery.

The Little Prince is off on an educational tour of various planets to stimulate his mind and enhance his experience. Unfortunately each ‘adult’ he meets has severe character flaws which restrict them from a deeper wisdom and self-awareness. The young prince seemingly already possesses such qualities that are further honed by these grown-up responses and he is able to counter their insular opinions.

After meeting each person on several of the planets he visits there are pages in the story to reflect and consider with your own young ones, the fundamental aspects of life, people’s aspirations and attitudes.

For me children of all ages will enjoy the basic story but the reflective pages would best suit children who are older and each parent/reader will be the better judge to see how to pitch these discussion items and learning outcomes.

Pros: Loved the message the book gave to kids. There are a lot of questions that are asked to the kids, which helps with engagement from children. Also gives kids the chance to understand what these things are. I thought that was such a nice touch to the book.

Cons; not the biggest fan of the simplistic artwork, but can kind of understand that maybe this book is more about what's it's saying instead of what it's showing. Pages were colorful for children to still be interested in the book and keep them reading.

Overall Thoughts; this book is something adults can read to children just because of the questions that are asked after meeting each person and the vocabulary is on the bigger side and might take a more advanced reader to read on their own.

A quick read for quick youngsters, that breaks down the original Little Prince story and shows both the core of it, and other spreads where we get discussion points and open questions about our own attitudes. How do we think we should learn, what makes us feel rich, and are we happy being bossy? Well, the story shows us regal people that raise those questions, and this clearly is a picture book adaptation that demands we answer them. It's fine enough, but as someone who just doesn't get along with the original, I wasn't exactly in love with this.

Loved everything about this! It was great to revisit the story again and I found myself reading it a couple times just to really sink into it!
