The Little Prince is an adapted version for little children of the full book written by the author Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Now, I have never read the book, to be honest, I’d never heard of it until this adapted version arrived and I looked it up.

If you have read the original this story may make more sense to you. To me, I found it confusing in places and hard to follow/understand. It kind of jumps from one scenario to another. I also struggled to work out what the meaning behind everything was, though looking at the original it seems to be a story of The grass isn’t always greener/enjoying what you already have.

I did love the full-page, colourful illustrations and young children that are new readers will be able to read this book as there isn’t a great deal of text and it is written in short paragraphs.

The Little Prince is a decent, quick read. I’m sure it will be magical and enchanting to a lot of readers, but for me not fully understanding what was happening put a dampener on my enjoyment, which is a shame as it looks so good too.
