Classic, must-read book. It would be a great night time story that is simple yet deep.
This illustrations are lovely. Thank you Net Galley.

I loved this book! I love that it includes some of the original characters, and that it explains after each encounter why the little prince was displeased/disappointed by the adults.
The only thing I disagree with is calling it a retelling, where it mainly just mentions some characters and explains the prince’s disdain for them/why they were of no interest to them.

I am a big fan of The Little Prince and I think people should rather read the original, than this retelling. It's not a retelling per se, as it mostly extracts the lessons from the original work and presents them in a less lyrical way.

It uses the original illustrations, but the story is lacking that touch of magic that the original has. It fell flat for me.

I absolutely loved this book. The way it takes you through the different types of leaders on each planet and gave you a pause to be able to discuss each type with your child. This book allows for so much introspections, even as an adult.

I love how this book expresses that some of the most important things in life, are intangible. This book is a great conversation stater to share with your children.

I am definitely going to purchase a copy of this book for my kids. I loved it and would reread and gift this time and time again. The illustrations are beautiful.

I volunteered to read a copy of this ARC through NetGalley.

A short and sweet story. I have always been a fan of the little prince this is one further step ahead in journey of the little prince.

This little book teaches us how the essential things in our life are mostly invisible to us.

Sweet and cozy, it was a good read. Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.

Follow the Little Prince as he leaves his home planet in search of adventure. Along the way he meets a King, a man wearing a very big hat, a strange businessman, a geographer and a fox. By meeting each one he learns an important lesson.

This book through the little Prince’s adventures teaches your child a number of different lessons in a very engaging way. The use of questions to the reader was very effective and encouraged active conversation. At times however I felt it may have been a bit advanced for the age group targeted.

The Journey of The Little Prince is a lovely and well written interactive discussion/activity plan with questions for analyzing The Little Prince written and collated by Corinne Delporte. Released 4th April 2023 by Chouette on their CrackBoom Books imprint, it's 22 pages and is available as a boardbook.

This excellent small book features the timeless beloved illustrations from The Little Prince. Referring to the original book, this book features questions inviting readers/facilitators/teachers to help their students explore their own feelings and interact at a deeper level.

This is not an alternative version of the original. It's set up more as an interactive lesson plan with questions inviting readers to contemplate their own feelings about things which happen in the original story.

Five stars. Obviously beautifully illustrated, as it uses some of the original illustrations, but additionally it's full of introspective questions and prompts to involve the youngest readers in learning to appreciate great classic literature.

Five stars. It would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, homeschooling use, home library, and gift giving. Text throughout is in English.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

The Journey of The Little Prince pays homage to the novella originally written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. With stunning illustrations that highlight some of the key parts of the story, this book does an excellent job of portraying various lessons surrounding power, wealth, and knowledge.

The Little Prince was one of the first books I have ever read, and one of the only books that would immediately come to mind whenever someone would ask for quick-read recommendations. At five years old, I never read between the lines and missed all the important takeaways that I've only come to realize after re-reading it a few more times as a teenager and into adulthood. The Journey of The Little Prince is the perfect introductory book to engage children in the meaningful concepts in the eye-opening story of The Little Prince and all the other characters he encounters in his journey. And even though this is primarily catered towards a younger audience, I think everyone of all ages will be able to appreciate The Journey of The Little Prince as we visit the questions that make you think while basking in the beautiful illustrations.

"The Little Prince leaves, increasingly disappointed with the adults he is meeting."
i’m an adult yet i agree with this 🫢 12 pages of this little book contains a lots of wisdom in its word.

thanks to netgalley for the copy!

The illustrations in this book are very pretty, but it's essential a summary of the story and its morals. I think the themes and morals it summarizes might be too advanced for little readers. The story itself is quite confusing to someone who's never read the original and might not capture the attention of little readers.

Best for fans of the original book, or as a supplement

I loved how the character is asking the reader a question. This is a good way to get a child's interest piqued. Kids can learn to think for themselves by asking the questions the book provides to them. The illustrations are adventurous and super cute. I would suggest this book to parents with elementary school-aged kids.

Love Always, Catherine

I received an advanced review copy for free. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is a fun introspective exercise! It follows the original story with some added comments and thoughtful questions about your own life. It reminds me of english classes, except the prompts are more personal and journal-based. I think they're important questions to consider, and I enjoyed reading this!

This is only part of the story of the little prince but as always is nostalgic and interesting to reread. My favorite story about hi. Is always about the taming of the fox, s mostly deals with his journey to many planets he searched before coming to Earth, and the points it touches upon are as timeless as ever. The Little Prince meets many adults with strange values and struggles to understand them before he is on his way again. His simple pictures still hold a deep appeal and the discussion points highlighted in the book make you think, even as an adult, about the concepts of what is truely important. A important and timeless book that should never be forgotten.

What author Corinne Delporte offers is discussion/lesson plan for The Little Prince. Who is this slender book for? Not the millions of adults who loved the translation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s masterpiece they read years ago. Nor the children who are reading it today, who understand it just fine, thank you. The surest way to destroy great literature is to dissect it to the point of killing it. Which is what we get here.

This book may be for some brand-new educator lacking in confidence. I’ll give it two stars for those poor benighted souls. Everyone else should give this book a pass.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley Chouette Publishing and CrackBoom! Books in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

I read The Little Prince as a little girl and I am excited to see it updated for a new generation. This is the perfect book to gift to a young child. It teaches children very powerful lessons that will stick with them for years to come.

The Journey of the Little Prince is an interesting puzzle of a book. It's being published to celebrate the 80th anniversary of The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupiary. The picture book shows several scenes from the original and tells the reader what we learn from them. I am confused about what age group this book is for. I don't think the usual picture book crowd, children from about age 3 to age 8 or 9, would be interested in this. It's a bit too wordy. For older children, I don't think there is enough action or plot. Also, not very many people whether they be grown ups or children, like to be told what lesson they should learn from a story. I think fans of the original book may enjoy this as a keepsake. I liked the art very much. More backmatter on the author would have been nice. In conclusion, I think this book is nicely done, but for a very narrow audience.

A short book. (12 pages) which summarizes the story of The Little Prince, examining the people he meets, and their qualities. The book then asks the reader to examine these qualities and why they are good or bad, and then poses questions for discussion. This would be a great book for early elementary classrooms, enabling a discussion between adults and children about which qualities we should admire, and those we should avoid.
Using the beautiful original illustrations by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, this book will resonate with all ages.

Ooph. The Little Prince is one of my favorite stories of all time, I own almost every version of the book, but unfortunately I will not be adding this version to the collection. The Little Prince is whimsy and imaginative and I feel like this book (since it’s a board book) takes away all of that. The images are great, I love the glow in the dark aspect, but it’s way too literal. The first page isn’t even quite correct, with the prince being bored. And no mention of the Rose. Definitely a miss for me.
