The Little Prince
(1943).
He flew for the first time at the age of 12 years in 1912 at the Ambérieu airfield and then determined to a pilot. Even after moving to a school in Switzerland and spending summer vacations at the château of the family at Saint-Maurice-de-Rémens in east, he kept that ambition. He repeatedly uses the house at Saint-Maurice.
Later, in Paris, he failed the entrance exams for the naval academy and instead enrolled at the prestigious l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In 1921, Saint-Exupéry, stationed in Strasbourg, began serving in the military. He learned and forever settled his career path as a pilot. After leaving the service in 1923, Saint-Exupéry worked in several professions but in 1926 went back and signed as a pilot for Aéropostale, a private airline that from Toulouse flew mail to Dakar, Senegal. In 1927, Saint-Exupéry accepted the position of airfield chief for Cape Juby in southern Morocco and began his first book, a memoir, called Southern Mail and published in 1929.
He then moved briefly to Buenos Aires to oversee the establishment of an Argentinean mail service, returned to Paris in 1931, and then published Night Flight , which won instant success and the prestigious Prix Femina. Always daring Saint-Exupéry tried from Paris in 1935 to break the speed record for flying to Saigon. Unfortunately, his plane crashed in the Libyan Desert, and he and his copilot trudged through the sand for three days to find help. In 1938, a second plane crash at that time, as he tried to fly between city of New York and Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, seriously injured him. The crash resulted in a long convalescence in New York.
He published Wind, Sand and Stars , next novel, in 1939. This great success won the grand prize for novel of the academy and the national book award in the United States. Saint-Exupéry flew reconnaissance missions at the beginning of the Second World War but went to New York to ask the United States for help when the Germans occupied his country. He drew on his wartime experiences to publish Flight to Arras and Letter to a Hostage in 1942.
Later in 1943, Saint-Exupéry rejoined his air squadron in northern Africa. From earlier plane crashes, Saint-Exupéry still suffered physically, and people forbade him to fly, but he insisted on a mission. From Borgo, Corsica, on 31 July 1944, he set to overfly occupied region. He never returned.

Beautiful poetic tale that - for some reason - I didn't know yesterday.

I fail to see the point of this book. The book can be enjoyed (because it makes sense) only if you know the original story. But this is addressed to a young audience so they clearly don't know the story. So why would it matter to them what little prince does, for them there is no little prince yet. I really don't get the hurry to introduce children to characters or stories which are meant for older readers. Aren't there sufficient stories for them? Are we devoid of any imagination? Why dumb a story down to the point where it makes no sense and sound silly af to make it seem appropriate for children?

Ce fut ma première inspiration pour commencer à étudier le français. Dieu sait combien j'aime vraiment lire ce livre. Il m'a appris beaucoup de leçons de vie.
"Et maintenant voici mon secret, un secret très simple: c'est seulement avec le coeur qu'on peut voir correctement; ce qui est essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

A cute board book about the Little Prince featuring the illustrations. It is also written in the reading and vocabulary levels of young children. I think an adult who knows and has read the original The Little Prince or is an Antoine de Saint-Exupery fan and can share this experience with their child.

Excellent little board book depicting tasks completed by the Little Prince on his planet. Artwork is from the original book.
I think this could have been improved by lengthening the book and providing some context or an overarching storyline for readers that are unfamiliar with the original story.

This board book presents one sentence selections from the classic story. The Little Prince cares for his planet and his flower, then watches the sun set. There is a new, soft background color for each page of text corresponding with illustrations, which are appropriately taken from the original book.

El narrador después de haber tenido un accidente aéreo se encuentra en medio del desierto con un pequeño muchacho de cabellos dorados, el principito. El principito viene de otro planeta, muy muy pequeño, tanto que en un solo día vio cuarenta y tres puestas de sol. Así tan solo conocerlo, el muchachito le pide al narrador que le dibuje un cordero, y nuestro locutor, un dibujante frustrado que solo sabe dibujar boas con elefantes dentro, abiertas o cerradas, pone todo su empeño en dibujar el corderillo; pese todo su esfuerzo, el principito no queda satisfecho con el dibujo, y debe repetirlo, hasta que realmente dibuja una caja con tres agujeros, y ahí el principito se emociona de ver su cordero soñado.
En el pequeño país del principito hay tres volcanes, una rosa y baobabs (malas hierbas que se convierten en arbustos que crecen y crecen). La rosa es su más preciado ser, y los baobabs deben ser quitados en su brote, por eso el principito quiere que el cordero se coma a las malas hierbas pero no a su flor, y pide al narrador que le dibuje un bozal para el cordero.
Como ya habréis notado el principito es un personaje peculiar, pues dejadme ahora que os cuente su viaje hasta la tierra. En su partida, el principito decidió visitar todos los planetas de su alrededor para entretenerse y hacer algo. Primero conoció el planeta de un rey que reinaba sobre todo el universo sin realmente reinar sobre nada. Segundo conoció a un vanidoso que no tenía nada más que él para admirarlo. Tercero habitaba un borracho que quería olvidar su vergüenza por ser borracho. Luego se encontró un hombre de negocios que contaba las estrellas una y otra vez porque las administraba bajo su posesión. Des aquí que llegó a conocer un farolero que se dedicaba a encender la luz por la noche y apagarla por la mañana, pero en este momento su planeta giraba tan deprisa que un día duraba un
minuto, y el pobre farolero no podia descansar. Justo antes de la Tierra visitó el planeta de un geógrafo que no era explorador, pero como habitaba solo no podía recopilar datos para su libro y le pidió al principito información sobre su planeta, como el planeta del principito no era muy interesante, el geógrafo envió al principito a visitar la Tierra.
En la Tierra, antes de conocer al aviador, se encontró una serpiente que le ayudaría a encontrar su tesoro y volver a su planeta, un zorro que le enseñaría que es la amistad, un jardín de rosas que pondría en duda la ordinariez de su flor única, y finalmente al aviador, a quien contaría su historia en sus últimos días de vida en la Tierra.
