Le Petit Prince (Antoine de Saint-Éxupery)

****

         A pilot has crashed his airplane in the desert and is stranded with barely enough water to survive.  It is there, while he is repairing his plane, that he meets the Little Prince.  The Little Prince is no ordinary boy - he isn't even from this planet.  He tells the story of his first love and his travels through space.  As he meets new people throughout the universe, the Little Prince comes to understand the most important things in life.

         J'ai lu Le Petit Prince avec ma classe de français l'année passé.  Je l'aimais beaucoup.  Le Petit Prince est très mignon et aussi très sage.  Les aventures du Petit Prince étaient magnifiques . . . il a fait le connaissance des personnes intéressants.  
         Just kidding.  I wouldn't actually do that to you (whether it's because you don't understand any French or because you understand enough French to know that I don't have the vocabulary to write a book review).  Anyway, we read this in French class last year and I really enjoyed it.  Le Petit Prince, or The Little Prince in English, is meant to be a children's book.  It didn't seem too juvenile, though.  Like Winnie-the-Pooh, it is cute and enjoyable no matter how old you are.  Le Petit Prince also has some seriously deep moments.  It would be a good choice to read with a younger child, but you could definitely read it by yourself as well.
