As a lover of the Little Prince since my preteen days, I had to see how this book would stack up next to the original and whether it could be used to introduce the younger children in my life to one of my favorite books!

Overall, I think it's a good effort that ends with the Prince meeting the fox (so the author pilot and such is left out entirely)! It is interesting how, after simple summaries of places the Prince went, there are discussion questions for parents and children about the allegorical lessons of the place. I think that's a neat addition to get young kids to reflect on what it is they're reading and not just passively consuming it.

I think a few of the word choices are a bit high for the intended toddler audience (absurd when silly would work as well, for example) so parents may need to explain a few of them as they read.

This book was cute and informational with life lessons spelled out. As the little prince meets different adults, there is something inherently wrong about their actions. This is a good book for young children to learn and promote discussion.

The Journey of The Little Prince is a short retelling of The Little Prince with illustrations, some explanations, and some questions for the reader. The Little Prince travels to different planets where he’ll meet people who he finds strange. In every interaction, he’ll learn valuable lessons about:
❤︎ Responsible use of power
❤︎ Not depending on people’s approval or opinions
❤︎ Wealth isn’t just measured by belongings
❤︎ The importance of both knowledge and experience
So overall, it teaches really useful lessons for kids, I would totally recommend it! I can’t really compare to the original novel, since I’ve never read it but this book has inspired me to check it out. I’ll update my review after!
Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

This is the very first version/edition of The Little Prince that I've read. I plan to read the original too! I really liked the simplicity of the illustrations as it encaptured the mood, theme and emotions of the story! I like how there are questions to be asked after each segment and gives you the chance to introspect. I really enjoyed this story!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Charming and.nostalgic, it has a lot of the delightful warmth of the classic. I really enjoyed the bold illustrations and the different elements of his journey, with prompt questions. For your little readers. I do think it’s a little wordy for the demographic., however. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for letting me read!

From what I’ve gathered, this retelling is also a condensed version of an original story.

I enjoyed the concept of the story here — that a little boy goes on a journey and through his encounters he learns some really valuable lessons. These lessons can be absorbed by the reader. Again, really enjoy that concept. But in reality I feel like this book didn’t meet the mark. Instead of showing the kids the lessons I feel like this book took the easy way out and just explained what the reader should take from each endeavor rather than letting the reader do some deducing on their own. Each encounter felt cut short as did the very abrupt ending.

I am personally not a fan of this style of storytelling. I would be interested to read the original as I feel this concept deserves more time, space, and words to really develop the story.

I loved The Little Prince when I was a child and this is a simplified retelling with additional questions to ask your little one while you read it. A darling little book I'll be sure to get for my nephew!

I have always loved 'The Little Prince', I think it's a deep and thought-provoking story that justifiably became a classic. I consider it one of my favourite books of all time. This book is a short but beautiful retelling that uses illustrations by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry to cover the Little Prince's journey, with some additional comments regarding the characters he meets. Given that it is a read aimed at young children, it naturally doesn't go into too much detail, but I think it does a wonderful job acting as an introduction to the original for younger readers. Much thanks to Chouette Publishing and CrackBoom! Books for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Condensed version, but still lovely

This is a condensed version of the Little Prince. Still, I love the lessons and the illustrations are beautiful. I can recommend it.

i have read this before so decided to review it as well. very helpful and informative, little prince will always have a piece of my childhood heart.

I was excited to read this as I love The Little Prince and have done since I first read it at age 10. So I was very disappointed with this very condensed version, yes it is beautifully illustrated, but the short dips into the story do the original no justice. I also feel that it is not really for 5 year olds, but more for age 7.
The discussion topics are good, but could be done with the original as easily. I do not think I will get this for my grand children, I will get them The Little Prince.
My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the arc.

As a big fan of The Little Prince I absolutely HAD to request this to read to my toddler! This was so cute and fun. The illustrations were exactly what I expected and the retelling was fun. I actually loved the introspective questions and bought a couple of copies to use with my clients I work with. It is a fun way to talk about different topics!

It is a companion book / discussion book of the classic, The Little Prince. It is not an alternative/replacement of the classic. What I liked a lot about this book is that it takes the discussion down to the level of understanding of its audience, little children. One is not supposed to enter into a long monologue like theosophical discussion with the audience of that age. When you take that into consideration, the book is excellent. And the questions, the discussion it invokes are important. The little ones might not understand them completely now, but one day they will. These are just the seeds of those thoughts being planted.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I admit that I am not one of the biggest fans of the original The Little Prince book. I enjoyed it when I read it and appreciate why so many love it, but it just didn't hit that same way for me. This could be in part to the fact I did not grow up with it and read it first as an adult, or maybe it's just not my personal jam. However, I was excited to explore this retelling and see how Delporte approached the story.

I was mostly disappointed that there wasn't more done with the story to keep readers interested and to build upon or at least invoke the same level of magic as the original. The book provides a condensed retelling of the locations the prince visits and the people he meets, along with a description for each of which lessons were to be learned. These are paired with reflective questions. I expected this to feel more approachable for the youngest readers of The Little Prince story, but it did not. At the same time, there was a lack of feeling and depth to this version that could have been included. This version could pair well with the original, or as a more focused guide for discussions about these various topics (greed, vanity, etc.). Otherwise, the original story may be the better choice and prove to be more engaging, even if that means waiting a little longer.

Being a huge fan of The Little Prince I HAD to read this to see if I could get a copy for my little nephew!

The book captures most of the story beautifully, simplifying it in a way thats digestible for kids, however I really was looking forward to seeing the Rose and was sad she wasn't included!
It does not have the same magic as the original mainly because it was super simplified however, it is a nice start to help familiarise children with this wonderful story and its multilayered messages so maybe they could give the full length version a chance in the future.
I did like the promos that encouraged reflection and conversation.

The parts of the story they included had a lot of depth and I think this is enough for a child to process at such a young age!

I loved the Little Prince and expected this to be a new translation or with new illustrations. This is a weird and unnecessary distillation of a classic that explores deeper themes. I agree that is has an AI generated feel.
Just read the original.

This is a short little children's book which is a retelling of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic novella, which is celebrating it's 80th anniversary. The Little Prince travels to different planets, and on each planet, he meets people who he finds strange, but he learns valuable lessons from meeting these people. For example, he meets a King, who gives absurd orders and only wishes to please himself. The Little Prince realises that this is not a good way to be, and that if you want to be a leader, you must be useful and responsible. He also realises at the end of the book what is really important in life.

My daughter and I enjoyed this book, which has nice graphics, but some of them were a little bit scary for my daughter. However, we really loved the messages brought forth, which were full of wisdom. I would have liked the book to be longer, as we were enjoying it so much. I would like to read more books like this in the future.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

I recommend this title if you have small children. The book is very educational and I love the plot. I love the illustrations as well.

As a big fan of The Little Prince, I was somewhat disappointed with this retelling. It says it's geared towards ages 5 and up and yet uses the phrase "exercise authority?" That does not seem like the right choice of words for the audience. There's a bit of a disconnect I think between it's purpose and the language of the book. The book in general is already pretty accessible as a children's book so I'm not sure why the retelling has even been made.

This is a good introduction to The Little Prince. It is essentially a synopsis version of the novella that focuses on the moral of the stories of each of the men on other planets.
