"perfect acid trip for children" im absolutely stealing this one

[pokedoctor]

It was the first book I read when I was 5 and gave it a go again when I was 26. It mad me cry, there was so much that I didn't get as a Kid, it really is profound!

In fact maybe a half of my 7-8 literature teachers from my school years would argue Le Petit Prince is in fact the greatest book ever written. And although it is not a part of my favourites I would not be able to disagree with them.
1. It is really for everyone and I cannot really come up with even 1 other book that is for everyone
2. It is deeply phylosophical although it is a page turner and is never aggressively preaching
3. Although it does not excel in world building (which is only normal) it has one of the most memorable places and characters ever written
Here in Bulgaria we has it as a must read after 1st or 2nd grade. I think it was 2nd. And overall there is a saying that you must read this book three times in your life - once you are 8, once you are 18 and once you are 80. Overall a great read but I am not sure why it is even considered fantasy at all. Fantasy elements here (as well as in Discworld) serve as tools to express phylosophical concepts and nothing more. And since the fantasy is just a tool and not the purpose I would never call them fantasy. Strictly my opinion.

Surely an all time favorite book. I read it for 4 times, and this book always gave me a new perspective in each reading time. Loving your review btw!

Your bit wrong . a child will never understand it . im 35 and the first time i read it in french i was 7 . every 2 -3 years i read it again and i understand it more . its a book that sound simple, looks simple but its very hard . its like reading socrates for a kid . Yes he will understand it from his perspective but never as a old person with his experience . Another way to explain it : - A child singing a love sad song ( child have great voice ) .. it will sound great but the child will not feel or hold the sadness that an adult singing such song ( with a good voice) . Le petit prince is for grown ups more than a child

As an avid reader I’m sad to say I’ve never read this. I’m going to pick it up to read to my wee ones

My parents work for the sate department and travel all over the world of their work. My mother has acquired a small collection of copies of the little prince in the native language of where ever she's living. So for she has English, Spanish, Turkish, and of course the native French.

I love the Little Prince like it's such a beautiful story and it's sad as well : D

[abhishekmaurya]

How many pages and books are in the book and volumes too.

[monsouranda]

This sounds perfect to me. Thank you for the recommendation.

This book always have a different meaning when I read it. It wasn't the same experience when I was a kid, a teenager, a young adult and now.

We had to read the little prince for the book report back in elementary school. one of the rare school choices I didn't HATE!
Discworld wise, please review each book separately. They ARE somewhat connected, but only first two are actually one story split in two. I love discworld, it was my introduction to books I actually loved to read.

[GaiaSteinbuch]

I'm so glad you enjoyed The Little Prince. I liked it a lot when I read it a few years ago.

[MrImportantGuy]

I have just been reading this to my daughter in the last week! She's only 6months, so has no idea what it means, but she'll have it in her collection for when she learns to read. :)

[daphnesandi]

This is such a well done review. As someone who has just read it, you completely stole my train of thought!

[catatony]

For someonewho rediscovered reading after 5 year long hiatus and ironically have started with "Eye of the World" as the first book your channel is a GOLD MINE SIR

[דניאלפרידמן-טמ]

le petite prince is my favorite book, it just so perfect- smart, funny, educating and overall just a perfect book.

[coobbyo]

No idea if this will be seen, but I would love to see a new review of this at some point if you ever feel like you have new thoughts.

[Bavubuka]

Could you do a booklist of absurdist novels? 🙏

[gabriellagonzalez]

I read this to my three and ½ year old. She loved it.
