Title:  The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince)

Reviewer:  Ellie W. '07

The Little Prince is about a little boy who does not like grownups because they are too worried about "matters of consequence." He has been taught to live his life worrying about things like that until he meets an unusually small person who asks him, "Can you draw me a sheep?"

I would recommend this book to children because it focuses on kids and their point of view of the world.

Apart from being short, The Little Prince is very complex. Sometimes it is hard to understand because the narrator talks about things so deeply. It is not boring, but sometimes you can forget the subject he is talking about. This book is very interesting because of the way the author views grownups, which is one of his subjects.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys meaningful books.

(Martin read this book in French,.)

The Little Prince is about a man who wakes up and sees a small child. The man and the boy become friends. The man learns something new each day from the young boy. They visit planets by "flying."

The Little Prince is a good book because it is imaginative. There are forty-two sunsets in one day on the little prince’s planet. He also has two volcanoes on his tiny planet but here is only one flower.

The illustrations are very creative. I think you will enjoy this book.
