A quick read for quick youngsters, that breaks down the original Little Prince story and shows both the core of it, and other spreads where we get discussion points and open questions about our own attitudes. How do we think we should learn, what makes us feel rich, and are we happy being bossy? Well, the story shows us regal people that raise those questions, and this clearly is a picture book adaptation that demands we answer them. It's fine enough, but as someone who just doesn't get along with the original, I wasn't exactly in love with this.

Loved everything about this! It was great to revisit the story again and I found myself reading it a couple times just to really sink into it!

I enjoyed this book and read with my daughter, I like how it’s bright and colourful and engaging and has an underlying message to teach her qualities and how behaviour can be seen and experienced by others.

This was a really short book, really, really short.
I think the idea behind this is to try to give a more detailed explanation of the book for children that maybe can't grasp the meaning behind The Little Prince. But I would have love if it was the whole book, and not just like 6 pages.
Otherwise, I think it was fine.

I was pleasantly surprised by the way this version of the classic “The Little Prince” approaches the important topics of inner beauty, power, knowledge, and wealth. The questions, following the journey of our Little Prince, seem like a perfect way for the younger readers to engage. I do believe some of the words used could be simplified if the target audience is the children.

Cute if intended exclusively for children; through the people the Little Prince meets it is shown the human personality at its best and at its worse.

This is a very cute board book retelling of The Little Prince. I loved that the major scenes were mentioned & then the morals were explained for the youngest readers. I think this would be a great way to introduce the youngsters to The Little Prince.

Thanks to NetGalley, Chouette Publishing, and Corinne Delporte for the chance to read and review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a cute story retold from a original story. I do feel it’s for the ages 5 and up as little ones are not going to get the story. This tale is about a Little Prince who goes to different plants and finds out about different personalities from the Kings of the planet. The illustrations are very pleasant and calming.

The Journey of The Little Prince is a fantastic story to share with children. While The Little Prince is on his journey, he meets many interesting characters. There are lots of aspects about these characters that can be learned from. This book digs deep and asks some hard questions, while being entertaining at the same time. This is a perfect story to read aloud with kids.

This is a great companion to the Little Prince, to help teach children the real important things, and to think for themselves.

Very sweet little book for younger readers based on the little prince that I imagine would be a hit with many young children.

It's a timeless classic, isn't it? This book holds a special place in my heart. It's not just a story; it's a profound exploration of life, love, and human nature. And the character of the Little Prince himself... he's so innocent yet wise beyond his years. A book that speaks to readers of all ages, reminding us to cherish the simple joys of life and to never lose sight of what truly matters.

Pros: I have read and loved The Little Prince and was thrilled to see this version that can be read with young readers. The illustrations are, of course, fantastic. I can see this book being shown to a group of kids while being read aloud. I also liked that questions were added throughout that could be asked to a child while reading the book together.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chouette Publishing | CrackBoom! Books for the opportunity to read this book.

In a magical retelling, this children’s book portrays The Little Prince as he builds up relationships with people and places along his adventure. This was a fun retelling perfect for young readers ages 5 and up!

I’m sure many people grew up with this story, I absolutely adored the way this book was written and illustrated. It was very educational and taught so many lessons along the adventure. Such a delightful read for young children!

I would highly recommend this story for all young readers!

I grew up with the classic story of the Little Prince and I was so excited to find this ARC celebrating the 80th anniversary of the original story. In this addition the author gives us a deeper look into the story. We look closer at the connections between the places and the people the Little Prince finds along the way. On his journey he discovers so much more like understanding knowledge and experience and wealth. The author then gives us questions we can answer together to better understand each thought. This book is a great way to help children better understand the story and concept. It is created especially for children ages 5 and up. This is an absolutely magical way of looking at the classic story. Your family will love this book and it will soon become a family treasure.

This was a very cute book, straight to the point, as it took the major events in the original story. I enjoyed and appreciated the questions that went along with each part of the story to have the reader relate and think about themselves in comparison to the characters in the story. I can imagine how lovely the glow in the dark stars add to the story!

This was an educational read meant to teach children pocket sized lessons that are important for them to learn. Each scenario is depicted in detail and then there is a reflection page. It’s an interesting read for sure.

Saw The Little Prince everywhere on my trip to Paris. This was a cute, short read perfect for young children. A fun way to learn.

The Little prince is such a delightful story and teaches so many good lessons so I was excited to see this version of a classic story. The illustrations are the highlight of the book. I found the intended audience difficult to understand with a mix of simple language for children, and then more elaborate questions which young children would have trouble understanding. The original tale is lost in the abbreviated version which makes it disappointing. Thanks for letting me read this copy

'The Journey of The Little Prince' is a classical retelling of Antonine De Saint-Exupery's first publication 'The Little Prince', translated by Katherine Woods. To celebrate the 80th anniversary of 'The Little Prince,' a magical retelling of the story was published. It depicts the Little Prince embarking on a journey across many planets to discover what is truly meaningful in life.

Getting bored on his planet, the Little Prince embarks on a journey. He steps into his red plane and takes off. The first planet he visits is ruled by a king. It was strange because there were no subjects in the kingdom. In an attempt to control the Little Prince, the king tried to order him around. He decides to leave.

The Little Prince reflects on his experiences after visiting each planet. In contemplation of the king, he observes,

"Power and its usefulness."

"The Little Prince has just met a king who wants to give

orders and rule his kingdom only to please himself.

The Little Prince is surprised, because this kind of power

is useless.

Sometimes, you may want to make decisions, or even

lead others. This requires you to be responsible and useful."

"Do you like to make decisions?"

"Do you enjoy being the boss in some situations?"

He visits several other planets, where he meets a man in a very big hat who thinks everyone should admire him, and on another planet, a strange businessman who counts stars he believes belong to HIM! Another planet he visits is inhabited by a geographer who loves to learn all there is to know about oceans, deserts, mountains, and cities. The strangest thing is, he has never left his planet. A trip to Earth would be interesting, he suggests. The Little Prince follows his advice.

This book is so much more than just a book. It is about life. I am sharing only a very small portion of the book. I believe 'The Journey of The Little Prince' is a true treasure that should be purchased to stand alongside the original 'The Little Prince'.

This is a book that I highly recommend purchasing.
