In one word this book is incredible.
This book was the best thing that ever happened to me. Every sentence was basically just another metaphor to make your jaw drop
Philosophical in the best way possible. Imaginative and unique. This book will enrich your life.
Sometimes I wonder what I liked so much about this book when I was little girl. I couldn’t get all those beautiful hints Exupery left in between the lines. So what is it that makes this masterpiece a child’s book? From my point of view it’s a book for adults that don’t want to conform to the ignoring society. Everyone should read it once in while to remember what really matters. The counting of stars or the watering of rose? Repairing of airplane or looking for stream? Me or the Little Prince?
This is the first time I’ve wised up and finally read this moving book (the 2000 translation to English). Methinks that Jonny Sun read it when he was a child.

Not only a children’s book. A lot of wisdom in its pages.
This simple, timeless little book speaks volumes about human nature and the beauty of awakening.
Truly an outstanding work by a phenomenal author.
Muck to think about.
To my surprise, I didn’t enjoy this very famous book. Glad I read it, though.
I believe everyone should read this book. Hold on to your innocence and fill your life with the things you love and listen to people’s stories. A beautiful book full of wonderful characters.
This is a simple story with a lot of depth.
Sometimes we don’t even realize that we’ve changed, somehow we’re fallen in our own system, that we won’t even question it. Unlike children, their curiosity, innocence, displayed perfectly in this book
My all time favorite book since I was 16-17 years old. I’m now in my 60’s and still love this story.
Best kids book I’ve read.
