Summary: This book is a life-long friend -- something new everytime!
Review: My mom bought me this book when I was about 10 years old. I liked the pictures and the story captured my imagination. It seemed special, especially since my mom gave it to me. I read it again when I was about 16 and was blown away. I cried and cried. The insights I had gained between 10 and 16, I discovered, sat in the story, like little sparkling jewels half buried in sand. I read it again when I was about 22. Again, the depth of this little book surprised me, and again I was in tears. The last time I read it, I was about 25 and felt no less amazement than before at the spiraling depths of this simple story. (This book always makes me cry.) This is a book that grows with you. The story is enchanting and contains within its pages so many precious lessons, like little secrets -- keys to life -- revealed to the reader in stages, as the heart and mind grows and opens enough to perceive them. This book is a pure treasure, and I recommend it for everyone, young and old. I look forward to reading it again... and again... and again.

Summary: Delicate, enchanting, amusing
Review: Oh yes--and wise (but stick with the charming Katherine Woods translation). The author gently pokes fun at adults who take themselves way too seriously, and does it in a way that even a child can understand it. If you don't get anything else out of this book, you'll at least learn how to draw an elephant.

Summary: Let's see an adult life from a whole new perspective!!!
Review: I read this book to my 4 year old. As I read it on most nights I learn so much about adult behaviour than I had bargained for. Sometimes I embarass myself about adult behaviour. This classic is a must read. I have never read a book for grownups which have pictures next to text. Why don't adults write like Antoine De Saint-Exupery?

Summary: Remembering What it Means to Laugh
Review: I was given this book by my mother when I was twelve years old. Six years later and entering my senior year in highschool, I am just now beginning to realize what the book actually means to me. As anyone will openly admit, and as I'm sure I will passionately agree with when I am an adult, "being a teenager" is the abridged way of saying you are dealing with some of the most trying and complicated issues you will face in your young life. For me, it is exactly this- trying and complicated. About a year ago, however, I sat down and reread The Little Prince for the first time since my mom read it to me as a little girl. I took in every word, every meaning, and would sit for twenty minutes after every moving bit of prose and wonder what it all meant to me. I came to the conclusion that the life I knew didn't always have to be so trying and complicated, that I could simplify it all and start remembering what I loved about the world around me. In other words, I came to the conclusion that an old and ugly hat wasn't always a hat and was probably, in its greatest sense of reality, a snake that had swallowed an elephant. At eighteen I am taking to heart the simple words of a little boy brought to my world by a flock of wild birds and in doing so, I am remembering what it means to love the world around me...I'm remember what it means to laugh as he does.

Summary: The Prince, the Rose, and the Fox
Review: I happened onto THE LITTLE PRINCE in college and read it at a sitting. Since then I've re-read it many times and bought numerous copies for friends. In under a hundred pages, Antoine de St. Exupery managed to beautifully express some tender and profound views and teach the reader some important things about mortality and the proper appreciation of it. The illustrations are wonderful and the text has made this book popular in several languages for over three generations.

Summary: Richard Howard has butchered a classic
Review: Richard Howard has managed to take an inspiring, moving book and drain it of its soul. Most of the poetic language of the original English translation has been drained away -- what's left reads like a news column. It's as if the publisher had given the original version to a copy-editor from the New York Times and asked him to rewrite it so they could get a few extra decades of copyright protection. If you buy this translation without also reading the original Katherine Woods translation, you're cheating yourself.

Summary: Kinda weird, but has a special message
Review: This book was kind of strange, and I didn't really understand it at first. Later in the book, though, I realized that it was about grownups, and how they are always so busy with life, and they never really sit back and enjoy it, and see it from a child's perspective. Figuring out the message was more fun than reading the book, though.

Summary: The Little Prince
Review: This is such a good book. I think all grown-ups should read it- It will make them forget the silly little world of business. I was almost ashamed when I read this book- I forgot all about how simple and easy it is to be a child, and how much more- I don't know sensible?- it is. and when they said all about numbers. Now I hope I won't ask-how old? and how much does his dad make?- when I'm told ab out someone. Well, now is my next mission- make my mom and dad read it!!!
