Available for the first time in an edition for young adults, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry''s classic story, The Little Prince, beloved by readers of all ages, comes to life in a format perfect for teen readers.
"I'm glad I was asked to be the ambassador for this book." -Gregory Maguire

"A lovely story…which covers a poetic, yearning philosophy-not the sort of fable that can be tacked down neatly at its four corners but rather reflections on what are real matters of consequence." -New York Times Book Review

At first glance, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's 1943 classic The Little Prince-with its winsome illustrations of a boy prince and his tiny planet-appears to be a children's fairy tale. It doesn't take long, however, to discover that it speaks to readers of all ages. This pocket-sized edition, perfect for teens, features Saint-Exupéry's original full-color illustrations and the unabridged text, a reader's guide, and a introduction by Gregory Maguire. Rediscover-or share-the magic!

A New Perspective
by Alyssa Later
13 months ago

Many of us have read this book in grade school but forget the lessons taught in this book. The way we view things can vary greatly from the original intention. How we approach different viewpoints and problem solving is also brought out in the book. This book shows us how greatly different a child's thoughts are different from an adult's thoughts. An adult's thinking may be at times hard to understand because there is no logic to it, it just keeps going around in circles, so to say. Many people around the world have enjoyed this book, for it has been translated into other languages. Although being a children's book, it is so thought provoking that any person at any age can enjoy it.
