The Little Prince

De Saint-Exupery, Antoine. The Little Prince. Marnier Publishing. ISBN 978-0156012195

A magical story of a little prince who hails from an asteroid far away from planet Earth. However, the Little Prince leaves the asteroid one day due to a distrustful rose. The Little Prince eventually lands on Earth and ends up in a desert with a pilot who's plane is grounded. The Little Prince, through his travels, meets some adults and is very displeased. His only wish is to return to his one true love, but obstacles stand in his way.

An eloquently written story that not only teaches clarity, but offers advice for and about the important things in life. This classic tale has stood the test of time, like most of the classics. A wonderful tale of enlightenment and exploration that shares the dangers of narrow mindedness. This tale offers ample opportunity for tweens to discover a deeper meaning in a beloved children's picture book, turned novel.
